1.3M? the Island of Montreal has 2.050M people haha. SPVM (police) controls the whole island, so 7 homicides out of 2.050M people
For Montreal it is a bit complex... It used to have +50 per year, but they just locked all the bikers and Mafioso... Then the Risoto empire fell...
Also one reason is the weather, remember when I think in 206, NYC went like 12 days without any murder because it was too cold...? Well winter in Montreal are worse than this cold wave in NYC and last 6 months so people barely stay outside because just way too cold. People in Montreal basically live indoor for much of the year because of the weather so they have less opportunity to interact with other because when the weather is warm, people do get into fights, stabbing, shootings...
2 weeks ago a woman and her daughter got shot at in brad dailight at noon on the street. And gun fire are common, just they do not seem to aim well
Montreal's population is 1.78 million. Either way, it's a good look on the city with its size to have so few.
But as djesus said, the Montreal city (proper) police department is responsible for patrolling the entire island of Montreal, which has over 2 million people. Their stats reflect that.

And for the metropolitan area of 4.3M people, Montreal is at 16 homicider year-to-date. 0.37 homicides / 100,000 people

So those years where Montreal had lots of murders (it even topped 100 at one point) were years where the city got freak subtropical winter temperatures, I guess?
