Weyburn Police Chief Jamie Blunden explained how this rating translates to what the Weyburn Police Service is seeing on the streets for crime levels. “Stats Canada gives certain weight to different crimes. It’s kind of like a diving competition – the harder dives get a degree of difficulty starting score that is higher than an easier dive. Crime Severity stats are the same. For example, a homicide will have the highest ‘value’ assigned while a theft under $5,000 will have significantly lower ‘value’ assigned. Each of the crimes is given a value and Stats Canada then looks at all the crimes in our area that have been reported and assigned values,” he said, noting there are three categories for crime stats: overall crime severity index or CSI, the violent crime CSI and the non-violent CSI.
