Statistics Canada has released its annual report on crime and things are not looking good in the Central Okanagan.
Metro Kelowna, which includes all communities from Lake Country to Peachland, reported a crime rate per 100,000 last year of 11,112.
That is by far the worst crime rate of any census metropolitan area in Canada, and an increase of 10 per cent from 2020. Nationally, the crime rate per 100,000 rose just one per cent to 5,375 in 2021.
...
Kelowna’s crime wave bucks the provincial trend, with provincial statistics for the Crime Severity Index (92.9) and crime rate (7,486) falling last year by five and four per cent, respectively.
Castanet has requested comment from the Kelowna RCMP.

i think my favourite line of the article is the final one... requesting a comment from rcmp. i would love a response like "we can't fix stupid!" or something along those lines.
