In 2016 Belleville recorded a total of 2,008 crime incidents across the year. The open-data set shows that the category labeled “Other” dominates, comprising 1,637 incidents, or roughly 81.5 % of all reports. Theft, assault, mischief, break‑and‑enter and robbery make up the remaining counts, each representing less than nine percent individually. No undated incidents were reported for this period. The map’s 60‑day rolling window displays 1,395 incidents, while the yearly total reflects the complete calendar year.

Belleville's 2016 open-data incident layer, supplied through the official open-data crime feed for the area, recorded 2,008 reported incidents over the full calendar year. Violent-category incidents — assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide and shooting — account for 84 of those records. These are incident counts, not population-based crime rates; they show what the open dataset contains for 2016, not risk per resident.
The interactive map uses a rolling 60-day window, currently showing 1,395 incidents, so the map's snapshot is much shorter than the full-year totals on this page. Reviewing the annual breakdown helps residents see which broad categories dominate the public record and how the largest category, Other, splits into service calls and specific offence types. This makes the page a starting point for exploring the city's open-data crime record.
No year-over-year comparison is available for Belleville's 2016 figure. The archived year series on this page contains only one year — 2016, with 2,008 incidents — so there is no prior-year pair from which to calculate a change. That does not mean the open dataset is limited to a single year of records; it means this selection has no complete second year for comparison. The 2,008 total is the full calendar-year figure for 2016, not the 60-day map window. Any change described elsewhere on the site for other cities should not be projected onto Belleville.
In 2016, the open-data breakdown is led by Other, with 1,637 records at 81.5% of the year's total. Theft follows at 175 (8.7%), Assault at 77 (3.8%), Mischief at 68 (3.4%), Break and enter at 40 (2%), and Robbery at 7 (0.3%). Because Other dominates, the subcategory split matters: Calls for service is its largest slice, with 910 records — 55.6% of Other and 45.3% of all 2016 incidents. The Other label is not unexplained residual crime: it includes person offences such as Harassment (40), plus Drugs (37) and Weapons offences (15).
Belleville's 2016 open-data profile is dominated by the Other grouping rather than by classic offence categories: 1,637 records (81.5%) fall there, with Calls for service alone reaching 910 records and 45.3% of the yearly total. Theft is the largest specific offence (175; 8.7%), followed by Assault (77; 3.8%), Mischief (68; 3.4%), and Break and enter (40; 2%). Violent-category records total 84. Treating Other as one undifferentiated block would obscure the fact that person offences like Harassment (40) and Weapons offences (15) sit inside it.
In 2016 Belleville recorded 2,008 reported incidents across the city. The open‑data feed captures occurrences that took place between 28 January 2016 and 27 April 2016, representing the full calendar‑year total for that period. These figures reflect the complete‑year dataset, not the shorter 60‑day map window.
The leading category in Belleville’s 2016 data is “Other,” accounting for 1,637 incidents (about 81.5% of the total). This umbrella groups several detailed groups: Calls for service (910 incidents), Traffic & MVC (315), Bylaw & Provincial (204), Other crime (116), Harassment (40), Drugs (37) and Weapons offences (15). These sub‑categories together explain the majority of the “Other” count.
A year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2016 period, because the dataset does not include a comparable prior‑year total for this open‑data series. Consequently, no percentage increase or decrease can be reported for Belleville’s 2016 incident count.
The Belleville open‑data set for 2016 does not contain any neighbourhood‑level breakdowns, so the map and summary cannot display incident counts by specific neighbourhoods. This absence is reflected in the source, which reports a neighbourhood count of zero and provides no top‑neighbourhood list for the year.
The figures come from Belleville’s official police open‑data portal, published by the province of Ontario. The dataset aggregates all reported incidents for the city and is released as part of Ontario’s municipal open‑data initiative, providing the raw counts used in this summary.
The dataset reflects the full calendar year 2016, with the latest recorded incident dated 27 April 2016. By contrast, the interactive map’s rolling 60‑day window shows a more recent snapshot of 1,395 incidents, which represents a shorter time span and therefore a different total from the year‑long summary.
