This page covers Theft in Edmonton, Alberta, as recorded in the city's published open-data archive. The headline count is 16,029 theft incidents for the selected period — 2026 year-to-date through July — drawn from the full archive rather than the 60-day rolling map window. Theft represents 38.4% of Edmonton's 41,777 citywide incidents across all categories in the same period.
Theft is the top-ranked category among Edmonton's nine reported categories. The archive also contains 18,931 theft records for the full 2025 calendar year, giving year-over-year context for the current year-to-date figure. Because 2026 is only a partial year, the two numbers are not directly comparable as an annual trend. A separate 60-day map tier shows 13,545 incidents, but that is a shorter-window view and should not be confused with the 2026 YTD total on this page.
Theft is the largest category in Edmonton's published breakdown, ranking 1st among the 9 categories. Its 16,029 records for 2026 year-to-date through July represent 38.4% of the citywide total of 41,777. The next-largest category is Other, with 7,587 records, followed by Fraud at 4,054, Mischief at 3,886, Assault at 3,677, and Auto theft at 3,110. Each of those categories has fewer recorded incidents than Theft in this period, which may be useful when comparing how Edmonton's open-data counts are distributed across categories.
Theft is the leading category in Edmonton's open-data counts for 2026 year-to-date through July, with 16,029 records and a 38.4% share of the 41,777 citywide total. That is markedly higher than the other published categories, including Other at 7,587. The year series shows 18,931 theft records for 2025 and 16,029 for 2026 through July; since 2026 is a partial year, this does not indicate an annual rise or fall. The 60-day map tier shows 13,545 incidents, a separate view.
The page reports 16,029 theft incidents for 2026 year-to-date through July, based on Edmonton's full open-data archive. It also lists 18,931 theft records for 2025. The 16,029 figure is not the 60-day map window, which shows 13,545 incidents; the two measure different periods.

The 60-day map window contains 13,545 incidents and is a rolling tier based on the most recent occurrence dates in Edmonton's data. The 16,029 figure is the category count for 2026 year-to-date through July from the full archive. They are different views, not the same total.
The series shows 18,931 theft records for 2025 and 16,029 for 2026 year-to-date through July. Because the 2026 figure covers only part of the year, it is not an annual total and should not be treated as a year-over-year comparison. No percentage change is published for the category in this dataset.
