In partial 2026 data, Sherbrooke recorded 1,615 open-data incidents, compared to 3,559 full-year incidents in 2025. Because 2026 is an incomplete partial year, year-to-date counts cannot be directly compared to prior full years, and annual totals reflect reporting rather than risk. Other offences comprised 512 incidents, led by 272 threats. Theft ranked second with 474 incidents, followed by 394 assault incidents, 139 mischief incidents, and 96 break and enter incidents.
In 2026, Sherbrooke recorded 1,615 reported incidents across all offence categories, representing 10 % of the city’s cumulative archive of 16,142 incidents. The data set for this year is still being compiled, and the figures represent the portion of the year that has been reported to date. Among the reported offences, the “Other” category is the most frequent with 512 incidents, followed by Theft with 474 and Assault with 394 incidents.
Because 2026 remains a partial year, its total cannot be directly compared to the full‑year count of 3,559 incidents recorded in 2025. Nevertheless, the current tally already places 2026 as the fifth‑most recent year in the five‑year series, and the prominence of the “Other” subcategories—particularly Threats (272 incidents) and Traffic & MVC (78 incidents)—is notable.
The 2026 figures are based on reports received so far and do not yet cover the entire calendar year. For comparison, the full 2025 year recorded 3,559 incidents across all categories. When looking at the same reporting window, the current 1,615 incidents suggest a lower raw count, but the incomplete nature of the 2026 data means any year‑over‑year percentage would be misleading. Users should consider that additional incidents are likely to be added as the year progresses. The upcoming months will determine whether the pattern observed so far holds.
2026’s early tally shows a pronounced shift toward the “Other” category, which alone accounts for nearly a third of all reported incidents (512 of 1,615). Within “Other,” Threats are the largest sub‑category at 272 incidents, while Traffic & MVC contributes 78. Compared with the five‑year series, the year ranks fifth, reflecting a lower raw count that likely stems from the incomplete reporting window rather than a lasting decline. Property‑focused offences such as Theft and Break‑and‑Enter appear modestly represented.
Sherbrooke recorded 1,615 reported incidents in 2026 across all offence types. This figure reflects the reports received so far and represents 10 % of the city’s cumulative archive of 16,142 incidents. Because the year is still in progress, additional incidents may be added before the calendar year closes.
Comparing the raw 2026 total of 1,615 incidents to the full‑year total of 3,559 incidents recorded in 2025 shows a lower count for the current reporting period. However, since 2026 is only partially complete, this difference should not be interpreted as a definitive decline in overall crime activity.
The most frequent offence in 2026 is the “Other” category, with 512 incidents, followed by Theft (474 incidents) and Assault (394 incidents). Within “Other,” Threats account for 272 incidents, making them the leading sub‑category, while Traffic & MVC contributes 78 incidents.
