About this data

This Oshawa, Ontario page covers the latest reporting day of October 12, 2026, with 3 incidents recorded in Durham Regional Police Service open data. The city is presented as part of the Durham Region feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer to show local activity. All headline counts on this page describe that single day, not a year-to-date total and not the rolling map window.

The interactive map separately shows 583 incidents across the most recent 60 days, so the daily figure is much smaller by design. A single-day view is useful for checking what was recorded most recently in Oshawa and where it clustered, while longer windows smooth out day-to-day variation. Police may still add reports for October 12, 2026, so the count of 3 can rise as records are finalized.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for this latest-day snapshot of October 12, 2026, so no annual percentage is shown. A single day cannot be compared like-for-like with a complete calendar year, and the headline figure of 3 incidents stands alone as a daily count. Longer context is present in the background archive, which spans 2009 to 2026 and holds 4,106 incidents in total, including 1,709 records in 2025 and 2,259 dated records in 2026. Those multi-year figures help explain coverage over time without serving as a daily year-over-year comparison.

Category breakdown

On October 12, 2026, Oshawa recorded 3 incidents, led by Assault with 2 incidents accounting for 66.7% of the day's total. Other followed with 1 incident, or 33.3%. With only 3 records, a single report shifts the percentage mix sharply, so the shares describe that day only. For context on what Other can contain in this source, the full-archive breakdown attributes 275 Other records to Impaired & dangerous driving, representing 100% of Other and 6.7% of the archive total. That archive detail does not change the daily breakdown, where Assault and Other are the only categories shown. No additional categories were recorded on this date.

Where incidents concentrate

Three Oshawa neighbourhoods each recorded 1 incident on October 12, 2026: Central Park, Gibb West and Lakeview.

These placements reflect where reports were located on that day, which is a measure of activity concentration, not a per-capita comparison of risk, since reporting and daytime presence can differ by neighbourhood.

What this means

The standout on October 12, 2026 is how small the base is: 3 incidents total, with 2 recorded as Assault (66.7%) and 1 as Other (33.3%), spread evenly as 1 incident each across Central Park, Gibb West and Lakeview. That even split means the daily mix can swing with one report. For context, the archive's Other detail is entirely Impaired & dangerous driving at 275 records (100% of Other, 6.7% of total), while the map's separate 60-day window holds 583 incidents.
