Key stats

What these numbers mean

Montreal's 2026 data highlights a strong concentration in property crimes, with the top four categories alone accounting for over 90% of all incidents. The rarity of homicides (2 cases) contrasts sharply with the high volume of theft-related offences. As the only year in the dataset, these numbers establish a baseline but cannot indicate trends. The dominance of auto-related thefts—both from vehicles and of vehicles—suggests targeted prevention efforts could yield significant reductions.
