About this data

This page summarises 2,474 reported incidents recorded in Gatineau, Quebec, for 2026 (YTD, through Jul), drawn from the official municipal open-data portal for the city. The period covers January through July 2026, so the headline numbers are year-to-date, not a full annual total. Assault leads the mix with 1,233 incidents (49.8%), followed by Mischief (503 incidents, 20.3%) and Break and enter (388 incidents, 15.7%). These are reported incident counts from the open-data layer, not a per-capita risk ranking.

The page uses the full Gatineau open-data archive from 2022 to 2026, with the selected year cut through the last complete month. That distinguishes this year/YTD view from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which currently shows 786 incidents. Reviewing counts by year, category, and named street location helps residents and local analysts see how reported incidents are distributed across the city during the current year.

Recent trend

Across complete calendar years in the open-data archive, annual counts have stayed relatively flat. In 2024, Gatineau recorded 4,338 incidents, and in 2025 the total rose 2.5% to 4,446. Earlier years were slightly higher: 4,384 in 2023 and 4,733 in 2022. The 2026 YTD total of 2,474 covers only January through July, so it cannot be compared to a full-year total as if the year were complete. Year-over-year change for the selected period is therefore not available; the 2.5% increase applies to the complete 2024-to-2025 calendar-year comparison.

Category breakdown

For 2026 (YTD, through Jul), Assault is the most reported category in Gatineau's open-data layer, with 1,233 incidents, or 49.8% of the 2,474 total. Mischief follows with 503 incidents (20.3%), and Break and enter ranks third with 388 incidents (15.7%). Auto theft (162 incidents, 6.5%) and Theft from vehicle (123 incidents, 5%) round out the top five, while robbery recorded 65 incidents (2.6%). The combined violent-category count for the period — assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide and shooting — is 1,298. Assault alone accounts for the bulk of that violent grouping, and a larger share of the overall total than any other single category.

Where incidents concentrate

Among named street areas in the open-data layer, Boul Saint Joseph has the highest number of reported incidents for 2026 (YTD, through Jul) with 69, followed by Boul Greber (48), Boul Maloney E (45), Boul Maloney O (37) and Rue Notre Dame (35). These counts reflect where incidents are recorded, not a per-capita risk ranking — areas with more activity, including commercial corridors and major roads, naturally record more reports. The full open-data set spans 2,350 named locations, so these five are a small sample of the citywide pattern.

Key stats

  • 2,474 incidents reported in Gatineau for 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
  • Assault leads with 1,233 incidents, or 49.8% of the total.
  • Mischief: 503 incidents (20.3%); Break and enter: 388 (15.7%).
  • Violent-category incidents total 1,298 for the 2026 YTD period.
  • Full-year 2025 count rose 2.5% from 4,338 in 2024 to 4,446.
  • Boul Saint Joseph recorded the most incidents: 69 in 2026 YTD.

What these numbers mean

Assault dominates Gatineau's 2026 year-to-date open-data record: 1,233 of 2,474 incidents (49.8%) fall in that category, a larger share than Mischief (20.3%) or Break and enter (15.7%). That pattern is also visible across the full archive, where annual totals stayed within a narrow band from 4,338 (2024) to 4,733 (2022). The 2026 YTD total is not a full-year figure, so the absence of a year-over-year change for the selected period is expected. Boul Saint Joseph's 69 reported incidents make it the most active named location so far this year.

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).

Which areas in Gatineau have the most incidents in 2026 YTD?

The most-recorded neighbourhood area is Boul Saint Joseph with 69 incidents, followed by Boul Greber at 48 and Boul Maloney E at 45. These are the top three locations on the 2026 year-to-date map; counts are small relative to the 2,474 citywide total, so single-area figures should be read as reported incidents only.

Where does this incident data come from?

The numbers come from the official police open-data incident feed for Gatineau, Quebec. The dataset covers reported incidents from 2022 onward, with 2026 totals cut through July. No third-party estimates are used; all counts are the figures published in the open-data layer.

How current is the Gatineau incident data?

The archive's most recent record is dated 2026-08-14, while the 2026 headline total is deliberately cut through the last complete month, July. The interactive map's 60-day rolling layer shows 786 incidents, which is a different, shorter window than the year-to-date page total.
