This map displays 7,186 reported incidents across Ottawa over a 60-day window from November 1 to December 31, 2025. The data is sourced from the Ottawa Police Service’s public portal, providing a detailed snapshot of criminal activity during this period. Residents, researchers, and policymakers can use this information to identify patterns, assess neighbourhood safety, and allocate resources effectively.

The dataset covers only November and December 2025, with 7,186 incidents recorded during this two-month period. Without prior-year data for the same window, year-over-year comparisons cannot be made. The figures reflect a concentrated snapshot rather than an annual trend, so any broader conclusions about crime patterns in Ottawa would require additional context.
Theft was the most reported category, accounting for 3,314 incidents, or 46.1% of the total. Assault followed with 1,064 incidents (14.8%), while Other incidents, which include a variety of less frequent offences, totalled 1,053 (14.7%). Together, these three categories made up nearly three-quarters of all reported incidents in the two-month period.
Centretown had the highest concentration of incidents with 968, followed by Byward Market (535) and Lowertown (346). These figures represent raw counts of reported activity, not per-capita risk, and highlight areas where incidents were most frequently documented during the period.
Theft dominates Ottawa’s late-2025 incident counts, making up nearly half of all reports—far outpacing assault and fraud. Centretown’s 968 incidents stand out as the highest neighbourhood total, more than double Byward Market’s count. With no prior-year data for comparison, the 7,186 incidents over two months serve as a baseline rather than a trend indicator. The heavy concentration of theft and the absence of break-and-enter in the top categories may reflect seasonal patterns or reporting priorities.
