WINDSOR, ONT. Violent crimes in Windsor increased in 2020, while overall crime declined, according to new statistics revealed by Windsor police. Officials said Thursday that the increase was somewhat expected, given the circumstances and challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think the numbers are probably not that big of a surprise with the pandemic,” said Amherstburg Mayor and WPS Board Vice-Chair Aldo DiCarlo. Violent crimes increased by 15.8 per cent in 2020 compared to 2019. “Personal violence, the violence between people who know each other, people in families, again I think that was expected,” DiCarlo says.“With people, I don’t want to say trapped, but let’s just say with everybody at home, I guess those things could probably be expected.”
