Check out the downtown crime rates on the Winnipeg Police Service's CrimeStat website.

Once on this site, you can zero in on certain areas based on the police district, electoral ward, or neighbourhood.

Downtown falls within what the police have designated as District 1. Of course, this district is covers a much larger area than what most people think of as downtown. That's why it's important to narrow your search further if you want to get an accurate picture for what's happening in the downtown itself.

Luckily, CrimeStat allows you to do that. Downtown is separated into 11 neighbourhoods:

After you choose your area, at the top of the map click "view report." The report then shows the statistics for the last 7 - 14 days or 30 days and compares the year-to-date stats.
