Markham recorded 6,030 reported incidents in 2026, according to York Regional Police open data. That is lower than the 10,697 records logged in 2025, but the 2026 dataset is partial and not a full-year comparison. Theft led at 1,797, followed by Other (1,252), whose leading subcategories were Threats (270) and Drugs (203). The full city archive for 2021–2026 holds 56,994 records.
Markham’s 2026 open-data file contains 6,030 reported incidents, the lowest yearly total among the six years in the city’s archive. This is the archive’s 2026 calendar-year file, not a rolling map-window total, and it is still in progress. The city-wide archive, spanning 2021 to 2026, holds 56,994 records; 2026 accounts for 10.6% of that total. In 2025, the full-year file held 10,697 records, so the 2026 raw count should be read with the partial-year caveat in mind.
York Regional Police is the data source. Theft leads the 2026 category mix with 1,797 records, followed by Other (1,252), Fraud (902), Assault (784), Mischief (480), and Break and enter (308). Other is not simply residual: Threats (270), Drugs (203), Traffic & MVC (179), and Harassment (162) are its largest subcategories.
Because 2026 is a partial year, its 6,030 records are not evidence of a year-over-year decline against 2025’s 10,697. Comparisons should wait until the full calendar year is available. The current category mix shows Theft (1,797), Other (1,252), Fraud (902), Assault (784), Mischief (480), and Break and enter (308). Within Other, Threats (270) is the largest subcategory, followed by Drugs (203), Traffic & MVC (179), Harassment (162), Calls for service (152), Other crime (147), Bylaw & Provincial (83), and Weapons offences (56).
The 2026 category mix is led by Theft’s 1,797 records, with Other at 1,252 and Fraud at 902. Other’s largest subcategories include person offences (Threats at 270, Harassment at 162) alongside Drugs (203) and Traffic & MVC (179), so it is not merely residual unclassified crime. Assault follows at 784, and Mischief and Break and enter trail at 480 and 308. Within the six-year 2021–2026 archive, 2026’s 6,030 count ranks sixth of six.
Markham’s 2026 open-data file contains 6,030 reported incidents so far. Because the file is still in progress, that total is not a complete calendar-year count. The city’s full archive, covering 2021 through 2026, holds 56,994 records; this year represents 10.6% of that archive.
The raw 2026 count is 6,030, which is lower than 2025’s 10,697, but the 2026 file only covers part of the year. The two counts are not directly comparable as annual trend evidence. No year-over-year percentage is available from this partial-year file.
Theft is the top category with 1,797 records. Other follows at 1,252, and Fraud is third at 902. Assault (784), Mischief (480), and Break and enter (308) round out the leading six. Within Other, Threats (270) is the largest subcategory, followed by Drugs (203).
The counts are based on open-data records from York Regional Police, published by Ontario (ON). The Markham archive includes 56,994 incident records across 2021 to 2026, with 2026’s 6,030 records still representing a partial year. It is not a complete annual total.
