Key stats

What these numbers mean

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.
