About this data

Sourced from an official police and municipal open-data portal in British Columbia, the dataset includes 2,276 total dated incidents logged between March 16, 2026, and August 13, 2026. This headline total reflects the full selected year-to-date period rather than a short rolling window.

Tracking these municipal records provides clear visibility into local police report patterns across Abbotsford's 828 recorded neighbourhood locations. While the interactive map displays a rolling 60-day window of 921 incidents, the multi-month 2026 (YTD, through Jul) statistics offer a broader perspective for reviewing property and violent incident counts across the community.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the 2026 (YTD, through Jul) period because the open-data year series contains only a single recorded year of 2,276 incidents for the selected period. In the full archive, 2,433 total incidents are recorded for 2026, but no complete prior calendar year is present to calculate annual trends. As a result, direct multi-year comparison percentages cannot be computed. Headline totals reflect the year-to-date period through July, while recent interactive map filters display 921 incidents across the 60-day rolling window.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • What "Other" includes: The parent Other category is split on the map into Traffic & MVC, Drugs, Weapons offences, Bylaw & Provincial, Calls for service, and Other crime. In this dataset the largest Other slice is Other crime (100% of Other, 17 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
