Red Deer

Theft is the most reported category at 412 incidents (34.6%), followed by mischief at 362 (30.4%). The published layer covers property offences only; person crimes are not part of this map feed.

About this data

This page looks at Red Deer's 2026 year-to-date open-data records through July, a total of 1,192 incidents. The figures come from the RCMP K-Division public point layer, attributed to a Statistics Canada census subdivision, and cover property offences only: break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, and mischief. Person crimes such as assault, robbery, and homicide are not published on this open feed, so their absence here is not evidence that they did not occur.

Tracking these property-incident counts helps residents and analysts see the shape of reported property crime in Red Deer so far this year. The headline total is the 2026 YTD open-data total, not the interactive map's shorter lookback; the map's 60-day window currently holds 539 incidents. This is a count of reported records, not a rate.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for Red Deer's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) period. The year series in the open data contains only 2026 to date, so there is no complete prior-year pair to compare against. The 1,192 incidents should be read as a current-year snapshot rather than an annual increase or decrease. No partial-year decline or rise can be calculated from this feed, and there is no earlier calendar year in the series to use as a baseline. The interactive map's 60-day window is a separate, shorter lookback and should not be confused with the year-to-date total.

Category breakdown

Theft is Red Deer's most reported open-data category in 2026 (YTD, through Jul), with 412 incidents making up 34.6% of the 1,192 total. Mischief is next at 362 incidents, representing 30.4% of the total. Theft from vehicle ranks third with 176 incidents, a 14.8% share. Two further property categories complete the top five: break and enter (151 incidents, 12.7%) and auto theft (91 incidents, 7.6%). Because all five categories sit within the RCMP K-Division property-only open layer, these percentages describe the property offences published on this feed rather than all reported crime in Red Deer.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Red Deer's 2026 year-to-date open-data picture is defined by property offences: theft leads with 412 records (34.6%), followed by mischief at 362 (30.4%). Theft from vehicle (176), break and enter (151), and auto theft (91) fill out the five-category feed. This layer carries no violent-category counts, because person offences are not published in the RCMP K-Division open point layer. With no prior year in the series, the 1,192 total is a current-year baseline rather than evidence of a trend. The 60-day map window's 539 incidents offer a separate recent slice.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Property-focused open feed: Map points for this place come from the RCMP K-Division public crime layer, attributed to a Statistics Canada census subdivision for mapping. That open layer publishes property offences only (break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, mischief). Assault, robbery, homicide, and other person crimes are not included in this feed — so their absence on the map is not evidence they did not occur.
  • CSD attribution: The upstream layer does not name municipalities. CrimeMaps assigns each point to a 2021 Census Subdivision boundary; detachment areas are not identical to CSD boundaries, so edge error near borders is expected.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).

Frequently asked questions about crime in Red Deer

How many incidents were recorded in Red Deer in 2026 so far?

Red Deer's open-data feed shows 1,192 property-related incidents in 2026 (YTD, through Jul). That is the total for the selected year-to-date period, not the interactive map's 60-day window. The feed covers property offences only, so this number does not include person crimes such as assault.

What was the most common type of incident in Red Deer in 2026?

Theft was the most common category, with 412 incidents — 34.6% of the 1,192 total. Mischief followed at 362 incidents (30.4%), then theft from vehicle at 176, break and enter at 151, and auto theft at 91. All five listed categories are property offences from the RCMP K-Division open feed.

How does 2026 compare with earlier years in Red Deer?

A year-over-year change is not available for this period. The open-data archive contains records for 2026 only, so there is no complete prior year to compare against. The 1,192 incidents are year-to-date through July, not a full annual total, and comparing them to a previous full year would be misleading.

Can I see neighbourhood-level incident counts for Red Deer?

Neighbourhood-level counts are not available for this source. The RCMP K-Division point layer is attributed to Red Deer as a Statistics Canada census subdivision, and the open dataset does not include neighbourhood boundaries or sub-area fields. Incidents are reported for the city as a whole rather than broken down by neighbourhood.

Where does the Red Deer data come from?

The data comes from RCMP K-Division open data, published as a public point layer and attributed to Red Deer through its Statistics Canada census subdivision. The open feed covers property offences only: break and enter, mischief, theft, auto theft, and theft from vehicle. Assault, robbery, homicide, and other person crimes are not included on this layer.

How current is the Red Deer incident data?

The selected period is 2026 (YTD, through Jul), and the most recent occurrence date in the underlying dataset is 11 August 2026. The interactive map's rolling 60-day view currently contains 539 incidents, but the headline total of 1,192 is the year-to-date figure, not the map window.
