Ottawa crime overview

Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data

TL;DR. Ottawa recorded 40 incidents on its Latest day (2026-10-11), the city's latest exact occurrence day. Theft was the most common category with 26 reports, accounting for 65% of the day's total, followed by Assault and Mischief with 4 each. Reports were spread across 157 neighbourhoods, with Centretown, Laurentian and Lowertown each recording 3 incidents. Police may still add reports for this day, so the count can rise.

About this data

This CrimeMaps page tracks reported crime in Ottawa, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-11), the city’s latest exact occurrence day on October 11, 2026. The open-data extract records 40 incidents for that day, spanning Theft, Assault, Mischief, Break and enter, Other and Auto theft. Counts reflect reports published through the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario, with October 11, 2026 as both the start and end of the selected period.

This single-day view is useful for seeing the most recent mix before annual totals are complete, rather than treating 40 as a yearly figure. For context, the interactive map shows a separate rolling 60 days window with 6,883 incidents. Because reporting can lag, police may still add reports for October 11, 2026, so the count for that day can rise.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-11) total of 40 incidents, because the headline is a single occurrence day and not a complete calendar year. The archive year series runs from 2001 to 2026 and shows the shift from early single-digit annual extracts to 32,948 records in 2018 and later full years. As separate full-archive calendar context, complete years 2024 with 41,075 records and 2025 with 38,914 records represent a change of -5.3%, distinct from both the Latest day count and the 60 days map window.

Category breakdown

For October 11, 2026, Theft accounted for 26 records, or 65% of the 40 incidents for the Latest day (2026-10-11), making it the most common category that day. Assault followed with 4 records, or 10%, tied with Mischief at 4 records, or 10%. Break and enter added 2 records, or 5%, while Other also recorded 2 records, or 5%, and Auto theft recorded 1 record, or 2.5%. For context on the Other grouping, the full-archive breakdown — not the daily mix — lists 30,656 records as Other crime, or 100% of Other and 9.7% of the archive total. The daily mix is therefore property-theft led with a small assault component.

Where incidents concentrate

On October 11, 2026, three neighbourhoods each recorded 3 incidents: Centretown, Laurentian and Lowertown. Billings Bridge - Alta Vista and Carson Grove - Carson Meadows each recorded 2 incidents, followed by other neighbourhoods with 2 or fewer among Ottawa’s 157 neighbourhoods in the source. This ordering reflects where the 40 reported incidents for that day were located, not per-capita comparisons between neighbourhoods, since counts alone do not adjust for population or daytime activity. Chapman Mills, Cityview - Crestview - Meadowlands and Glebe - Dows Lake also each recorded 2 incidents that day.

What this means

October 11, 2026 stands out as a theft-led day, with 26 of 40 incidents recorded as Theft at 65%, while Assault and Mischief each added 4. The geographic spread is flat, with no neighbourhood above 3 incidents. The full-archive view puts the day’s 2 Other records in perspective: 30,656 archive records grouped as Other are listed as Other crime, 100% of Other. Readers should treat the 40-record day as a recent snapshot, separate from the 6,883-record 60 days map window.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Ottawa on the latest day?
Ottawa recorded 40 incidents dated to October 11, 2026, the latest reporting day in the open-data file. Police may still add late reports for that date, so the count of 40 can rise as records are finalized. This daily figure is separate from the 6,883 incidents shown in the interactive map's 60-day rolling window and from the year-to-date archive.

What was the most common offence type on Ottawa's latest reporting day?
Theft was the most common type on October 11, 2026, with 26 of the 40 incidents, or 65% of that day's file. Assault and Mischief each added 4 incidents, followed by Break and enter with 2. The 2 incidents grouped as Other on that day are separate from the full-archive Other breakdown, where Other crime accounts for 30,656 records.

Is crime in Ottawa going up or down year over year?
Year-over-year change is not available for the October 11, 2026 daily snapshot. For full calendar-year context, the complete archive shows 38,914 incidents in 2025 compared with 41,075 in 2024, a decrease of 5.3%. The 2026 archive count of 30,133 remains incomplete, so it should not be compared directly with a full prior year as an annual change.

Which Ottawa neighbourhoods had the most incidents on the latest day?

With no single area accounting for more than 3 of the 40 incidents, the day's file was spread across many neighbourhoods.

Where does this Ottawa crime data come from?
This page compiles Ottawa's official police and municipal open-data portal for Ontario, not federal survey estimates. The October 11, 2026 file contains 40 incidents with exact occurrence dates across 157 neighbourhood areas. Boundaries and reporting practices can affect counts, so use the neighbourhood names and offence labels as published in that portal for comparison.

How current is the Ottawa data shown here?
The most recent occurrence date in the file is October 11, 2026, presented as the Latest day (2026-10-11) with 40 incidents. Late reports can still increase that day's total.
