Gatineau crime 2026

Gatineau's 2026 open-data record contains 2,627 reported incidents, making it the fifth year in the city's five-year series. The archive runs from 2022 to 2026, with earlier yearly totals of 4,733 (2022), 4,384 (2023), 4,338 (2024), and 4,446 (2025). The 2026 figure is a partial-year total, so it should not be treated as a complete annual count.

The full multi-year archive for Gatineau holds 20,528 records, and 2026's 2,627 records account for 12.8% of that city-wide total. Raw counts for 2026 are below the 4,446 records from all of 2025, but the reporting window for 2026 is still open. Comparing these yearly totals requires noting that 2026 remains in progress.

Year-over-year

The city record for 2026 currently stands at 2,627, compared with 4,446 for full-year 2025. This is not a year-over-year decline because 2026 is a partial reporting window. The five-year series for Gatineau runs 2022 to 2026, and the complete years range from 4,338 (2024) to 4,733 (2022). The full on-disk archive contains 20,528 records, of which 2026's 2,627 records make up 12.8%. When reviewing trends, use full calendar years only; the partial 2026 total is best read as an in-progress snapshot.

About this dataset

The full city archive across all years holds 20,528 records, and the series runs from 2022 through 2026. Because the 2026 reporting window is still in progress, the 2,627 figure is not directly comparable to a complete calendar year.

Are incident counts rising or falling compared with 2025?
