Updated 24 July 2025. 95 a) Provides a general outline of the structure or programs of a law enforcement agency; or b) Reports, by means of statistical analysis or otherwise, on the degree of success achieved in a law enforcement program. The purpose of this provision is to encourage disclosure of general information about the structure of law enforcement or its programs or reports and statistics about the success of law enforcement programs. Structure in this context means the organization of elements or parts such as corporate structure.355 Programs in this context means a set of related measures or activities with a long-term aim, a planned series of events.356 An example would be the Regina Crime Stoppers Program. Reports and statistics on the success of law enforcement programs should be routinely disclosed whenever possible. Only if the contents of the report could interfere with or harm any of the matters set out in the preceding subsections would information be withheld. This would be done by severing the appropriate parts of the report.357 Examples of statistical law enforcement reports include information on the success of programs such as “Crime Stoppers”, statistics on safety inspections and reports on matters such as reducing car thefts. 355 Garner, Bryan A., 2019.
