This page presents the open‑data record of assault incidents reported in Calgary for the complete calendar year 2024. The dataset captures each incident that was logged by police and made publicly available.
In 2024, 503 assault incidents were recorded, representing 25 % of the city’s total 2,009 incidents across all crime categories. These figures are drawn from the city’s official open‑data archive, which records every reported assault without estimating unreported cases. The record reflects incidents with a known occurrence year and covers the full year, not the 60‑day map window used in other visualisations. Assault offences include attempts or threats of violence, as well as actual physical attacks, and are recorded under the provincial criminal code. The dataset does not adjust for population size, so the counts reflect raw incident numbers only.
Assault ranks second among Calgary’s five major crime categories for 2024, trailing only break and enter, which recorded 563 incidents, and exceeding theft from vehicle (498), auto theft (348) and robbery (97). Together, these categories comprise the bulk of the city’s 2,009 total incidents, highlighting the prominence of property‑related crimes alongside violent offences. With assault accounting for 25 % of all reported crimes, it is a notable contributor but remains less frequent than the leading break and enter category. The disparity underscores that property crimes dominate the overall crime landscape in Calgary.
Assault stands out as Calgary’s second‑most reported crime in 2024, making up a quarter of all incidents. The raw count of 503 reflects the complete calendar year, offering a full‑year perspective unlike the rolling 60‑day map window. Because the dataset provides only a single year’s figure, no year‑over‑year trend can be identified, but the category’s proportion indicates that violent offences remain a substantial component of the city’s overall crime profile.
The open‑data set shows that 503 assault incidents were recorded in Calgary for the full year 2024. This figure represents every assault that was logged by police and made publicly available for that calendar year.
Assault incidents account for 25 % of all reported crimes in Calgary, with 503 assaults out of a city‑wide total of 2,009 incidents across all categories for 2024. This makes assault a significant, though not the largest, portion of the city’s crime mix.
Break and enter is the most common category, recording 563 incidents in 2024. Assault follows with 503 incidents, which is 60 fewer than break and enter but still higher than theft from vehicle (498), auto theft (348) and robbery (97).
The dataset includes only a single year‑series entry for assault, covering the complete calendar year 2024. Because there is no earlier or later year data provided for this category, a year‑over‑year comparison cannot be calculated from the available facts.
