This page examines the Other category in Chatham-Kent, Ontario's open-data crime archive. Other holds 999 incidents in the 2026 year-to-date period through January — a count based on the full archive, not the 60-day map window. It represents 86.2% of Chatham-Kent's 1,159 total incidents across all categories in that period, making it the largest category in the published file.
Within the full archive, Other is not just a residual bucket: Calls for service lead with 1,830 records, Traffic & MVC follow with 859, and Bylaw & Provincial matters account for 491. These subcategories give the Other category a broad, service-oriented character, with Harassment also listed separately at 73 records. The numbers below come from the same open-data source and are counts, not rates.
Other is the top-ranked category in Chatham-Kent's 2026 year-to-date open-data file, with 999 records. It sits ahead of Theft (94), Break and enter (24), Mischief (19), Assault (15), and Auto theft (7). Other accounts for 86.2% of the city's 1,159 total incidents in the selected period, a much larger share than any other listed category. The full-archive subcategory breakdown, however, shows that much of this bucket is made up of calls for service and traffic-related records rather than what readers may think of as conventional crime categories.
Other is the largest category in Chatham-Kent's published file, making up 86.2% of all 1,159 incidents in the 2026 YTD period. The full-archive breakdown shows why: calls for service (1,830) and traffic/MVC (859) account for most of the Other bucket, with bylaw and provincial matters at 491. The 2026 YTD count of 999 follows a 2,588-record 2025, but those windows differ — January-only data should not be read as an annual drop. Harassment appears as a separate Other subcategory (73 in the archive) and is not grouped under Assault.
In the full open-data archive, Other is led by calls for service (1,830 records), traffic and motor vehicle collisions (859), and bylaw and provincial matters (491). It also includes other crime (271), harassment (73), drugs (39), and weapons offences (24). These subcategory counts cover all years in the archive, not just the 2026 year-to-date figure shown at the top of this page.
For the 2026 year-to-date period through January, Other has 999 records and ranks 1st among 7 categories. It is 86.2% of the city's 1,159 total incidents. The next largest listed category is Theft with 94 records, followed by Break and enter (24), Mischief (19), Assault (15), and Auto theft (7).
The series shows 2,588 Other records for 2025 and 999 for 2026, but the 2026 figure is year-to-date through January only. Because the windows are different lengths, the drop is not a year-over-year trend and should not be compared as one.
Harassment appears as an Other subcategory with 73 records in the full archive. In this open-data feed, harassment under Other is a person offence demoted from broader Assault/person parents; it is not described as physical assault and sits outside the Assault category total. Assault itself is a separate category with 15 records in the 2026 YTD period.
