About this data

This page tracks public open-data crime statistics for the township of Scugog, Ontario, covering 79 total incidents reported in 2026 (YTD, through Jul). Sourced directly from Durham Regional Police Service open data, these records outline incident locations across Scugog and its regional municipal context.

Examining both the year-to-date archive total and the short-term 60-day map window helps contextualize recent police response activity across Scugog.

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 (100% of Other, 27 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
