Number arrested and detained in local jail in 2009: 241
Number of calls to RCMP (which may include multiple crimes) in 2009: 1,455
Number of complaints filed in 2009 (again multiple offences possible in each complaint): 599
The crime rate is astonishing. Gjoa Haven is dry - but only in theory. There's lots of alcohol and it fuels much of the violence.
Something is wrong here.
