RCMP Homicide report 2022
Last month Statistics Canada released new homicide
data which has prompted more interest in RCMP
reports. The RCMP reminds us that they have been
releasing these data monthly since this past May. 2022
Here is the latest report up to December 9th 2022.
Total number of homicide victims:
• 2015: 26 – 17 male, 9 female
• 2016: 35 – 27 male, 8 female
• 2017: 23 – 15 male, 8 female
• 2018: 22 – 14 male, 8 female
• 2019: 20 - 14 male, 6 female
• 2020: 31 – 26 male, 5 female
• 2021: 34 – 26 male, 8 female
• 2022 (Jan-Dec 9): 39 – 30 male, 9
female
Total number of homicide files:
• 2015: 23
• 2016: 32
• 2017: 23
• 2018: 22
• 2019: 20
• 2020: 30
• 2021: 30
• 2022 (Jan-Dec 9): 29
“The statistics tell us that while the
number of homicides that occurred
in Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction
dropped in 2017 to 2019, they increased
again in 2020-2021. In 2022, we’ve continued
to see an increase in the number
of homicides. The 11 homicides as the
result of the September mass casualty
have certainly added to those increased
numbers. With under a month remaining
in 2022, we have already surpassed
the number of homicide victims yearover-year
in Saskatchewan RCMP
jurisdiction,” Superintendent Josh
Graham, Officer in Charge of Saskatchewan
RCMP Major Crimes says, “In
terms of trends we are seeing, I can say
we’ve seen an increase in gang-related
or-involved homicides - homicides
that are often complex in nature, have
multiple suspects and are difficult to
investigate. Our Major Crimes investigators
do an outstanding job in balancing
our response to newly reported
and continuing homicide investigations
and preparing them for prosecution in
court; however, the increasing number
of homicides has not been met with
an additional number of investigative
resources. These past three years have
been challenging for our Major Crimes
teams, but it is due to their professionalism,
dedication and extensive
experience that they have continued to
investigate homicides until charges are
laid or all investigative avenues have
been exhausted.”
• Several times within the past two
years an increased number of separate
homicides occurred within a short period
in Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction.
Here are several examples:
• There were 5 victims in 4 separate homicide
investigations in the seven-day
time period of August 30-September
5, 2021.
• There were 5 victims in 4 separate
homicide investigations in the six-day
time period of November 25-30, 2021.
