Is there a criminal database for my city Calgary
<p>About 15 years ago while my father was working 55 hour weeks being paid $8/hr, he completed his taxi license and started working more hours a week as a taxi driver. On the highway, one of his passengers struck him with a hammer on the back of his head landing him in the hospital for a few months for no apparent reason.</p>

<p>My father, being an immigrant, did not understand the law or his rights so did not pursue the issue further, despite police catching the individual in question.</p>

<p>I, his son, would like to look at this case and pursue it, despite my father's unwillingness to do so. Is there a way that I, independently, can figure out the identity of the criminal. The city in question is Calgary, Alberta, Canada.</p>

<p>You can't pursue it.</p>

<p>Criminal charges are a matter for provincial prosecutors; if they have decided not to then that is the end of the matter.</p>

<p>A civil claim would be barred by the statute of limitations. In any event, you have no standing is you have not suffered  injury as a result of this man's actions.</p>
