This page looks at the Other category in Amherstburg's open-data crime records for 2016. Other is the broadest published category on this site, collecting incidents that do not fall under Theft, Mischief, Assault, Break and enter, or Auto theft. In 2016, Amherstburg recorded 454 Other incidents out of a city-wide total of 564, giving Other an 80.5% share of all incidents and a rank of 1 among the city's six categories.
Because Other is a container category, its published subcategories are the useful detail. Traffic & MVC is the largest with 217 records, followed by Calls for service at 156, Bylaw & Provincial at 41, Other crime at 24, Harassment at 12, Drugs at 3, and Weapons offences at 1. These figures come from the complete calendar-year archive, not the 60-day map window.
In Amherstburg, Other is the top-ranked category among the six published in 2016. Its 454 incidents are more than the counts of the five listed sibling categories taken individually: Theft at 78, Mischief at 19, Assault at 6, Break and enter at 6, and Auto theft at 1. At 80.5% of the city's 564 total incidents, Other accounts for most of the city's published open-data mix. Much of that total reflects administrative or service-related records — traffic, bylaw, and calls for service — rather than the traditional crime categories listed alongside it.
What stands out here is the composition of the Other category, not its year-over-year movement: the archive contains only 2016 data for this category, so no multi-year change is visible. Traffic & MVC is largest at 217, Calls for service is next at 156, and Bylaw & Provincial adds 41. The category is dominated by service-oriented records rather than conventional crime counts. Harassment appears 12 times and is a person-based open-data offence, not physical assault. Other is ranked 1 of 6 with 80.5% of Amherstburg's 564 incidents.
The published Other breakdown in the 2016 archive lists Traffic & MVC with 217 records, Calls for service with 156, Bylaw & Provincial with 41, Other crime with 24, Harassment with 12, Drugs with 3, and Weapons offences with 1. These seven subcategories are how the 454 total Other records are organized in the open data.
Other is ranked first among Amherstburg's six categories, with 454 incidents in 2016. That is 80.5% of the city-wide total of 564. The next largest category, Theft, appears in the data 78 times, followed by Mischief at 19 and Assault and Break and enter at 6 each. Other's size reflects its broad service-based definition.
The 2016 category total of 454 comes from the complete calendar-year archive. The interactive map's rolling 60-day window, by contrast, shows 389 incidents in Amherstburg. The page narrative uses the full-year 2016 total, not the shorter map window, and the two figures should not be treated as the same measure.
No. The 12 harassment records under Other are open-data person offences that were demoted from coarse Assaults or person-based parent categories. They are not physical assault records and are not unexplained residual crime. The data also lists Drugs with 3 records and Weapons offences with 1 in Amherstburg's Other category.
