About this data

The 2026 (YTD, through Jun) dataset for Sherbrooke, Quebec captures all incidents reported to the municipality’s official police open‑data portal up to the end of June 2026. These figures reflect the latest calendar‑year totals drawn from the full on‑disk archive, not the 60‑day rolling map window that powers the interactive map. As a result, the headline count of 1,615 incidents represents the YTD total for the first half of the year, while the map window records 597 incidents for the most recent 60 days.

These totals let residents, researchers and policymakers see which offence types dominate the city, track changes over time and allocate resources more effectively. The YTD view provides a broader perspective than the short‑term map snapshot for community safety planning.

Recent trend

The archive shows a gradual rise from 3,587 incidents in 2022 to a peak of 3,755 in 2024. The most recent complete year, 2025, recorded 3,559 incidents, representing a 5.2 % decline from the 2024 total. The 2026 YTD figure of 1,615 incidents is lower than any full year but reflects only the first half of the year, so it is not directly comparable to the complete‑year counts. If the incident rate for the second half mirrors the first six months, the full‑year total would remain below the recent full‑year levels.

Category breakdown

For 2026 (YTD, through Jun), the most reported category is Other, accounting for 512 incidents or 31.7 % of the total. Within the Other group, Threats are the largest subcategory with 2,202 incidents, representing 47.3 % of the Other count and 13.6 % of all incidents, underscoring a notable share of person‑offence activity. Theft follows as the second‑largest top‑category with 474 incidents (29.3 %). Assault ranks third with 394 incidents, making up 24.4 % of all incidents. Together, the top three categories account for 85.4 % of the reported incidents. Mischief and Break and enter contribute 139 (8.6 %) and 96 (5.9 %) incidents respectively, rounding out the five leading categories. The Other label aggregates a diverse set of offences that are not captured in the more specific categories.

Key stats

  • Total incidents (2026 YTD): 1,615
  • Violent offences (assault/sexual assault/etc.): 394
  • Other category incidents: 512 (31.7 % of total)
  • Theft incidents: 474 (29.3 % of total)

What these numbers mean

Sherbrooke’s 2026 YTD data shows that the broad ‘Other’ category dominates with 512 incidents, driven primarily by Threats which alone account for 2,202 incidents across the full archive and 13.6 % of all reported crime. Property‑crime types such as Theft and Mischief together represent over half of the incidents, while Assault remains a substantial portion at 24.4 % of the total. The decline evident in the full‑year archive, with 2025 down 5.2 % from 2024, suggests a modest downward trend, though the YTD total is still lower than any complete year.

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 Threats (47.3% of Other, 2,202 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jun).
