In 2026, Ottawa logged 22,941 reported police incidents in this partial-year dataset, representing 7.5% of the 307,283 total incidents recorded in the city archive. Because 2026 data covers an incomplete calendar year, direct year-over-year comparisons with the 40,121 incidents recorded in 2025 reflect reporting windows rather than annual trends or per-capita risk. Theft remained the primary category with 14,332 reported incidents, followed by 4,206 assault records and 2,247 mischief cases.
During 2026, the city of Ottawa, Ontario recorded 22,941 total reported incidents in the official municipal open-data dataset. This partial-year count accounts for 7.5% of the 307,283 total incidents logged in the city's full archive, which spans 9 recorded years between 2001 and 2026. Theft remained the primary category during this period, with 14,332 reported incidents.
Because 2026 represents an active, in-progress partial reporting period, its 22,941 incidents should be viewed in raw context against the 40,121 incidents logged during the full 2025 calendar year. Comparing an incomplete reporting window to a full prior year does not indicate a true annual trend, as year counts reflect administrative open-data updates rather than per-capita risk.
In 2026, Ottawa logged 22,941 reported incidents in the open dataset, compared to 40,121 incidents in 2025, 41,490 in 2024, and 38,581 in 2023. Because 2026 is an in-progress partial year, this figure represents an incomplete annual count and cannot be directly calculated as a year-over-year percentage change against complete past years.
