About this data

This page summarises Coquitlam’s open‑data crime incidents for 2026 (YTD, through July) as supplied by the official British Columbia police open‑data portal. The headline total of 441 incidents reflects all dated reports in the city’s archive up to the end of July, providing a snapshot of recent policing activity for residents, journalists and planners.

The interactive map visualises the most recent 60‑day window, which currently shows 130 incidents. That short‑term view complements the YTD totals, allowing users to see both the broader annual trend and the latest activity burst.

Recent trend

Year‑over‑year change is available for complete calendar years: 2025 recorded 1,072 incidents, a 13.4 % increase over 2024’s 945 incidents. Earlier years in the archive show fluctuations, with counts ranging from 945 in 2024 to a high of 1,298 in 2022. The 2026 YTD total of 441 incidents should not be compared to a full‑year figure, as the year is still in progress.

Category breakdown

For the 2026 YTD period, the dominant offence is Theft from vehicle, accounting for 260 incidents (59 %). Break and enter follows with 129 incidents, representing 29.3 % of the total. Auto theft makes up the remaining share, with 52 incidents (11.8 %). These three categories together comprise the overwhelming majority of reported crime in Coquitlam during the first seven months of 2026.

Key stats

  • 441 total incidents (YTD through July 2026).
  • 260 Theft from vehicle incidents (59 %).
  • 129 Break and enter incidents (29.3 %).
  • 52 Auto theft incidents (11.8 %).
  • 2025 saw 1,072 incidents, a 13.4 % rise from 945 in 2024.

What these numbers mean

Coquitlam’s 2026 YTD crime picture is heavily weighted toward vehicle‑theft offences, which alone account for nearly three‑fifths of all incidents. With no violent crimes recorded in the period, the overall count of 441 incidents is modest compared with previous full‑year totals. The sharp rise in total incidents observed in 2025 (13.4 % increase) underscores a recent upward trend, but the current YTD figures suggest a lower activity level so far in 2026.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
