Clarington crime 2026

During the in-progress 2026 calendar year, Clarington recorded 418 open-data incidents in the public database provided by the Durham Regional Police Service. Located in Ontario within Durham Region, Clarington's 2026 dataset represents a partial-year window as of the August 2026 update. Annual incident totals represent recorded police activity and open-data file uploads across the municipality.

The partial-year total of 418 incidents in 2026 compares against 471 incidents recorded throughout 2025.

Year totals reflect administrative reporting volume rather than per-capita risk.

Year-over-year

In Clarington, 2026 marks the second-highest annual count in the city's 9-year dataset spanning 2016 through 2026.
