About this data

Langley's 2026 year‑to‑date (through July) crime summary presents the open‑data incident totals released by the official police open‑data portal for British Columbia. The dataset captures 1,220 reported incidents recorded between January 1 2026 and July 31 2026, grouped by category but without precise dates for individual events. These figures reflect the most recent snapshot of police‑reported activity and serve as a baseline for residents, analysts, and policymakers seeking a factual overview of local safety trends.

The interactive map on the site displays a rolling 60‑day window that currently shows 369 incidents, offering a short‑term view that complements the broader year‑to��date totals. By comparing the two perspectives, users can see how recent activity aligns with the overall pattern for the first seven months of 2026.

Recent trend

The archive shows a clear upward trajectory over recent full calendar years. In 2024, the city recorded 1,006 incidents, which rose to 1,968 in 2025, representing a 95.6 % increase. Earlier years displayed higher counts, with 1,578 incidents in 2023 and 1,795 in 2022, but the long‑term trend has been downward since the 2018 peak of 5,335 incidents. The 2026 year‑to‑date total of 1,220 incidents is lower than the 2025 full‑year total, indicating a slower pace in the current reporting period.

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).

Frequently asked questions about crime in Langley

How many crime incidents have been reported in Langley for 2026 so far?

The open‑data feed records 1,220 incidents in Langley for the 2026 year‑to‑date period, covering January through July 2026. All incidents are dated, and no undated records are included. This total represents the sum of reported offences across all categories up to the end of July.

What is the most common type of crime in Langley during this period?

Theft is the leading offence in Langley for the 2026 YTD period, with 439 reported incidents accounting for 36 % of all recorded crimes. These theft incidents include various sub‑types such as shoplifting and property break‑ins, making theft the most frequent category among the six listed categories.

Has crime activity increased or decreased compared to previous years?

Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2026 YTD data. The most recent full‑year comparison in the archive shows a 95.6 % increase from 1,006 incidents in 2024 to 1,968 incidents in 2025. Because 2026 is still in progress, the YTD figure cannot be directly compared to a complete prior year.

Can I see which neighbourhoods have the highest crime counts in Langley?

Neighbourhood‑level breakdowns are not provided for Langley because the source dataset does not include sub‑neighbourhood identifiers, so no neighbourhood‑specific counts are available. The open‑data feed aggregates incidents at the city level only, and the underlying police records do not expose finer geographic granularity for this municipality.

Where does this crime data come from?

The data are drawn from the official police open‑data portal for British Columbia, which publishes incident‑level records released by the provincial police services. These records are made available under an open‑government licence and are updated regularly as new incidents are recorded by the police.

How up‑to‑date is the Langley crime data?

The dataset is current through 31 July 2026, which is the last day included in the selected year‑to‑date period. By contrast, the interactive map shows a rolling 60‑day window that captured 369 incidents up to the most recent date. Therefore, the YTD total of 1,220 incidents reflects a broader seven‑month span, while the map window provides a short‑term snapshot.
