In 2026 Coquitlam recorded 441 reported crime incidents, a substantial drop from the 1,072 incidents logged in 2025, reflecting a partial‑year reporting window. The most common offence was theft from vehicles, accounting for 260 incidents, followed by break‑and‑enter with 129 cases and auto theft at 52. These figures represent about 7.3% of the city’s overall historic total of 6,064 incidents.
In 2026 Coquitlam recorded 441 reported incidents, reflecting the latest snapshot of crime data for the city. This total represents the full‑archive calendar‑year count for 2026 as defined by the dataset, and comprises all categories captured up to the most recent reporting date.
Because the 2026 reporting period is still underway, the figure cannot yet be compared directly with a complete prior year. For reference, the raw count for the full 2025 year was 1,072 incidents, providing a baseline for future year‑over���year observations once 2026 reporting concludes. The 2026 total also accounts for roughly 7.3 % of Coquitlam’s overall archive of 6,064 incidents and places this year sixth in the six‑year series.
The 2026 dataset is a partial year, so its 441 incidents should be viewed as an interim tally rather than a final annual total. In contrast, the complete 2025 calendar year recorded 1,072 incidents across all categories. This difference reflects both the unfinished nature of the current reporting window and any seasonal patterns that may emerge later in the year. Analysts should therefore treat the 2026 figure as provisional and await the final count before drawing definitive conclusions about trends.
The 2026 interim tally shows theft from vehicles dominating the crime mix, accounting for more than half of all reported incidents (260 of 441). Break‑and‑enter follows as the second‑most common offence with 129 cases, while auto theft remains a smaller share at 52 incidents. With a rank of sixth among six recorded years, this year’s total is the lowest in the series, reflecting the partial reporting window rather than a sustained decline. The share of the city‑wide archive (7.3 %) highlights Coquitlam’s modest contribution to the overall historic record.
The open‑data release shows 441 incidents reported for Coquitlam in 2026. This figure represents the full‑archive calendar‑year count available so far and is provisional because the year is still being reported. For comparison, the complete 2025 year recorded 1,072 incidents.
In 2025 Coquitlam recorded 1,072 incidents, while the interim 2026 total stands at 441. Because 2026 is only partially reported, the lower figure does not necessarily indicate a drop in overall crime; it reflects the unfinished reporting window. Final numbers will be needed for a definitive year‑over‑year assessment.
Theft from vehicles was the leading category in 2026 with 260 incidents, making up more than half of the reported offences. Break and enter ranked second with 129 cases, and auto theft accounted for 52 incidents. These three categories together comprise the majority of the interim crime picture for the city.
The figures are drawn from the official British Columbia open‑data portal that publishes police‑reported incident statistics for Coquitlam. The dataset is maintained by the provincial authority and was generated on 2026‑08‑09, ensuring the latest available counts are reflected.
