This page summarises the full‑calendar‑year data as published by the Ontario open‑data portal, breaking down incidents by category and highlighting the most frequent sub‑categories within the large 'Other' grouping. The figures reflect all incidents reported to the municipal police service during 2016 and are presented without year‑over‑year comparison because earlier data are not available. Within the dataset, the year ranks first out of one recorded year, and the total count accounts for 100 % of Amherstburg’s city‑wide incident tally. The breakdown offers a detailed view of where law‑enforcement resources were allocated across offence types.
The 2016 dataset records 564 incidents across six primary categories. The dominant category, labelled 'Other', accounts for 454 incidents, followed by Theft with 78 incidents, Mischief with 19, Assault and Break and enter each with six, and Auto theft with a single incident. Within the large 'Other' category, Traffic & MVC comprises 217 incidents and Calls for service 156, together representing the majority of the overall count. Bylaw & Provincial offences total 41, Other crime 24, Harassment 12, Drugs 3, and Weapons offences 1. This year constitutes the sole record for Amherstburg, ranking first in the city’s series.
The 2016 figures are heavily weighted toward the 'Other' bucket, which alone comprises 454 of the 564 incidents (about 81 %). Within that bucket, Traffic & MVC (217 incidents) and Calls for service (156 incidents) together make up more than two‑thirds of all reported events, indicating that many entries reflect routine police interactions rather than traditional crime. Property‑related offences such as Theft (78) and Mischief (19) are far lower, while violent offences are minimal, with only six assaults and six break‑and‑enter incidents. As the sole year on record, this dataset ranks first in Amherstburg’s series, providing a baseline for future comparison.
