The Guardian 23/12/2025 News Credence for clearance rates: modeling police clearance rates in Canadian municipalities Clearance rates are one of the most common ways by which police performance is assessed. Next to crime rates, clearance rates are among the few metrics used to assess investigative success across jurisdictions. Low clearance rates are also often used, by police leaders and police services boards alike, to petition for additional staffing. However, the correlation between staffing levels and clearance rates has not been well studied in the Canadian context. In this study, we examine clearance rates across 82 jurisdictions in Canada over time (2000 – 2023) to determine if police staffing levels impact clearance rates using fixed effect panel regression, controlling for several relevant factors. We find a significant, positive relationship between police staffing and clearance rates. However, this relationship is weak, and our findings suggest that the substantial cost of additional police may not be worth the minor improvement to clearance rates.

However, some officers demonstrated limited understanding of the complexities behind victims’ decisions to stay. These findings highlight the need for enhanced training to better equip officers with the knowledge to navigate the multifaceted dynamics of DFV cases.
