About this data
This page details open crime data for Burnaby, British Columbia, focusing specifically on the calendar month of August 2026. During August 2026, the official police and municipal open-data portal recorded 183 total incidents across the city. While the live interactive map displays a rolling 60-day window capturing 416 incidents, the headline statistics on this page isolate the complete monthly record for August 2026.
Tracking verified public records offers community members an objective, data-driven view of local police-reported activity in Burnaby. The category proportions presented across this summary draw from the 2026 year-to-date period through August, encompassing 1,554 dated incidents. Evaluating single-month figures alongside year-to-date category distributions provides helpful municipal context without relying on subjective estimates or anecdotal accounts.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for August 2026 because the 2026 calendar year remains incomplete. The full multi-year archive spans from 2025 to 2026, containing 3,890 total incidents. In 2025, the open dataset logged 2,336 incidents over the complete twelve-month cycle, compared to 1,554 dated incidents recorded in 2026 through August. Because the 2026 count covers only eight months, comparing it directly against the full 2025 annual record would be misleading. Annual comparisons will become available once full twelve-month records for both years are complete.
