WPS release updated crime statistics
In 11 of the past 13 weeks, Windsor police say response times to priority one calls have been eight minutes or less.
Those calls involve immediate danger, bodily harm, or potential death.
Stats show the amount of violent crime in the city is up four per cent, but property crime stats are down 16 per cent.
Windsor police categorize 61 per cent of all violent crimes in the city as assaults, and 37 per cent of them are related to intimate partner violence.
In a positive turn, more victims are turning to police for help to help break that cycle.
'We're seeing an increase since COVID, and it's the only thing that never really came down after COVID. So, it's a giant concern for us, obviously, the safety of people is a big thing, and we're always trying to do new things. So right now we're with something, about to be rolled out again. And we'll look forward to it. So hopefully that changes things for us,' said Deputy Chief Jason Crowley.
