Use this view to see what was recorded most recently in Ajax, Ontario, rather than a year-to-date or annual total.

Category and neighbourhood splits show where the 2 reports were logged.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-12) view, because a single-day headline cannot be paired with complete calendar years for comparison. The open-data archive itself is multi-year, spanning 2013 to 2026, with annual counts ranging from 1 in 2013 to 980 in 2026 in the full-archive series and 933 dated in the year-series view. The 2026 year remains open and incomplete. Readers should treat the 2-incident day as a latest-day snapshot, not as evidence of an annual rise or decline.

Category breakdown

On 2026-10-12, Ajax recorded 2 incidents, split evenly between the two reported categories. Assault accounted for 1 record, or 50% of the day, and Other accounted for 1 record, or 50% of the day. With only 2 records, the percentages reflect a single-day tie rather than a sustained pattern. For context on what Other contains in this Durham Regional Police Service feed, the full-archive breakdown attributes 116 Other records to Impaired & dangerous driving, representing 100% of Other and 7% of the archive total. That archive-level detail does not mean the single Other record on 2026-10-12 was a driving offence; it explains the longer-run composition behind the Other label.

What this means

The standout on this Ajax page is how small the latest-day window is: 2 incidents on 2026-10-12, with 1 Assault and 1 Other, against 235 incidents in the 60-day map window and 1,655 incidents in the 2013-2026 archive. Readers should not read the 50-50 split as typical. Longer-run, Other in this feed is entirely Impaired & dangerous driving at 116 records, or 7% of the archive total, which clarifies the meaning of the Other label for future daily updates.
