About this data
This page covers reported crime for Burlington, Ontario, for the latest day (2026-10-12), based on Halton Regional Police Service open data. The headline total is 4 incidents recorded on 2026-10-12, the city's latest exact occurrence day in the feed. Burlington is published as part of the Halton Region regional feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer.
The daily view is useful for seeing what was recorded most recently, while the interactive map shows a broader 60 days with 531 incidents. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-12, so the daily count can rise. Use the daily mix alongside longer archive context from 2025 to 2026 to understand short-term variation without mistaking a single day for an annual pattern.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the latest day (2026-10-12) selection. Annual comparisons require two complete calendar years, and the current headline is 4 incidents on a single occurrence day, not an annual total. The on-disk archive lists 2,248 incidents in 2025 and 2,302 in 2026, while the year series linked to the headline shows 2,248 in 2025 and 2,199 in 2026, but those periods do not form a complete-year pair for a daily comparison. Daily counts move sharply with reporting timing, so compare this day with longer archive context rather than treating it as a yearly trend.
Category breakdown
On 2026-10-12, Burlington recorded 4 incidents: Other accounted for 2 incidents, or 50% of the day, followed by Auto theft with 1 incident, or 25%, and Break and enter with 1 incident, or 25%. Other is the source rollup for incident types grouped outside the main map filters. For context, the full-archive breakdown of that Other rollup, covering 1,431 records across all years, is led by Impaired & dangerous driving with 1,232 records, or 86.1% of Other and 27.1% of the archive total. That archive pattern explains what typically sits inside Other, even though the latest-day Other count itself is only 2 records.
What this means
Burlington's latest day is unusually small at 4 incidents on 2026-10-12, compared with 531 incidents in the 60-day map window, so the daily mix of 2 Other records at 50% plus 1 Auto theft and 1 Break and enter at 25% each can shift with even one late report. The surprise for map readers is that the full-archive Other file is dominated by 1,232 Impaired & dangerous driving records, or 86.1% of Other, which explains the Other label rather than additional property crime.

Burlington recorded 4 incidents on 2026-10-12, the latest reporting day in the open file. The day's mix was Other with 2 records, plus 1 auto theft and 1 break and enter. This 4-incident figure is the single-day headline only, not a yearly total and not the interactive map's 60-day window. Police may still add late reports for October 12, so the count for that date can rise.
What was the most common type of incident that day?
The most common category on October 12 was Other with 2 of the 4 incidents, or 50%. Across the full archive, Other totals 1,431 records and is mainly Impaired & dangerous driving with 1,232 records, followed by Weapons offences with 103 and Drugs with 83. These archive breakdowns explain what sits inside Other beside the day's auto theft and break and enter counts.
Are Burlington incidents going up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this selected period. The archive lists 2,248 incidents in 2025 and 2,302 in 2026, while the dated file holds 2,199 records for 2026. Because 2026 remains open and methods can differ between the year file and the combined archive, those calendar totals should not be read as a completed annual increase or decrease.
Where in Burlington did the latest incidents happen?
Of the 4 incidents on October 12, 3 were in South Central Burlington and 1 was in South East Burlington. The source maps Burlington across 8 neighbourhood areas, so only two areas recorded incidents that day. Neighbourhood counts reflect where reports were geocoded in this Halton Regional Police Service feed, not a comparison of neighbourhood safety over time.
Where does this Burlington crime data come from?
The figures come from Halton Regional Police Service open data, with Burlington split out as a municipality page from the Halton Region regional feed. Neighbouring municipality pages such as Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills use the same regional source but are filtered to their own boundaries. Counts cover what the service publishes openly, not every call responded to.
How up to date is the Burlington data shown here?
The data is current through October 12, 2026, which is both the latest reporting day and the latest occurrence date in the file accessed October 13, 2026. The 4-incident headline covers that single day only. By contrast, the interactive map shows 531 incidents in its rolling 60-day window, so the map total is larger because it spans many more days.
