About this data

The 2026 year‑to‑date (through Apr) open‑data summary for Saugeen Shores captures 866 reported incidents recorded by the Ontario municipal open‑data portal. These totals reflect the full calendar year archive up to the last complete month, not the limited 60‑day map window.

This snapshot helps residents and policymakers understand recent crime patterns across the community, while the interactive map—showing 559 incidents from the most recent 60 days—offers a short‑term view for comparison.

Recent trend

Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2026 YTD period because the dataset contains only a single year of comparable data, so no complete prior‑year total exists for a direct comparison.

Key stats

  • Total incidents (2026 YTD) : 866
  • Violent incidents (assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide, shooting) : 16
  • Other category incidents : 779 (90 % of total)

What these numbers mean

Saugeen Shores ’ 2026 YTD crime picture is dominated by the "Other" category, driven largely by traffic‑related incidents that alone make up more than half of that group. Property‑theft‑type offences are modest, while violent crimes are low at just 16 incidents. The prevalence of traffic and service‑call reports underscores that most recorded activity pertains to non‑violent, everyday municipal concerns rather than serious offences.

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.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • What "Other" includes: The parent Other category is split on the map into Traffic & MVC, Drugs, Weapons offences, Bylaw & Provincial, Calls for service, and Other crime. In this dataset the largest Other slice is Traffic & MVC (53.7% of Other, 418 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Apr).
