Halifax crime overview
Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data
TL;DR. Halifax recorded 2 incidents on its latest reporting day, October 11, 2026, labelled Latest day (2026-10-11) in municipal open data. Both incidents were listed as assault, accounting for 100% of the day's published total. This page maps the October 11 records, shows the assault breakdown, and places the day in context of the 2026 archive. Police may add late reports for the day, so the count can be revised.
About this data
This page summarizes reported crime in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the Latest day (2026-10-11), centred on the latest occurrence day of 2026-10-11. The open-data extract records 2 incidents for that day, drawn from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Nova Scotia. The view reflects occurrence-date reporting, so records are tied to when incidents occurred rather than when they were published.
That single-day total is distinct from the interactive map's broader 60 days window, which holds 1,184 incidents and helps place 2026-10-11 in recent context. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-11, so the count of 2 can rise. Readers can use the day-level mix alongside the rolling window to see what was reported most recently without mistaking a quiet day for a full-year pattern.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-11) view for Halifax. The year series available for trend discussion lists 2026 with 3,360 dated incidents, so there is no complete-year pair to support an annual comparison for this latest occurrence day of 2026-10-11. The headline figure of 2 incidents describes 2026-10-11 only and should not be compared with a full prior year. A fuller archive total of 3,528 incidents for 2026 provides calendar context, but it does not create a year-over-year change for the selected period.
Category breakdown
The Latest day (2026-10-11) breakdown for Halifax contains one listed category. Assault accounts for 2 incidents, representing 100% of the 2 incidents recorded for 2026-10-11. With only 2 incidents in total for that latest occurrence day, the category mix is unusually concentrated, and Assault is the most common category for the day by default. This day-level picture in Nova Scotia reflects occurrence-date assignment for 2026-10-11 and does not describe the longer 60 days map window with 1,184 incidents or the 3,360 dated incidents listed for 2026. Because the Latest day total is so small, a single additional report for 2026-10-11 could change the mix.
What this means
What stands out for Halifax is how quiet the Latest day (2026-10-11) looks in isolation: 2 incidents on 2026-10-11, both recorded as Assault at 100% of the day. That single-category result differs from what a broader window would show, with 1,184 incidents in the 60 days map window and 3,360 dated incidents listed for 2026. Readers should treat the 2-incident day as a narrow snapshot that can still rise if additional reports are added, not as an annual pattern for Nova Scotia.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Halifax on the latest day?
Halifax recorded 2 incidents on 2026-10-11, which is the latest reporting day in the open dataset. That total covers that single date only and should not be read as a 60-day or year-to-date figure. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-11, so the count for that day can rise after publication. For context, the interactive map shows 1,184 incidents in its separate 60-day rolling window.
What type of offence was most reported on that day in Halifax?
Assault was the only category recorded for 2026-10-11, with 2 incidents accounting for 100% of that day's total of 2. The open-data file lists Assault for both records on that date. This reflects a single-day mix, not a longer-term pattern, and the mix can change as additional reports for the date are added.
Has crime in Halifax gone up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period for Halifax. The archive contains only 2026, with 3,360 dated records in the year series and a full-archive total of 3,528 incidents for 2026, so there is no complete prior calendar year to compare against. A trend can be shown once a second complete year is published in the open dataset.
Which Halifax neighbourhoods have the most reported incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Halifax source, so a ranked list by neighbourhood cannot be provided from the current open file. The dataset publishes city-level occurrence details through 2026-10-11 without a neighbourhood field that supports comparison. If the publisher adds neighbourhood geography in a future release, ward-level totals will be shown on this page.
Where does this Halifax crime data come from?
The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Nova Scotia that feeds this Halifax page. The latest-day total of 2 incidents and the 2026 dated total of 3,360 records are drawn directly from that open file. Different police summaries may use different cut-off dates or definitions, so their totals can differ from these open-data counts.
How up to date is the Halifax data on this page?
The data is current through 2026-10-11, which is both the latest occurrence date and the Latest day (2026-10-11) reporting period shown on this page. The year series runs through 2026 with 3,360 dated incidents, while the interactive map uses a separate 60-day window with 1,184 incidents. Counts for the latest day can increase if late reports are added.
