Public research

The Winnipeg Police Service is unable to provide routine assistance with academic research matters due to the large number of requests the Service receives and the limited budget we have to process these requests.

Several resources are housed online:

At the discretion of the Chief of Police, the WPS may participate in long term research projects which offer mutual benefit. The Service is interested in partnering with academia and students from accredited academic institutions who require access to data and other police information for purposes of their studies.

If you believe that your request falls under this category, the research request process begins with submission of an application to conduct research (PDF, 377KB).
