About this data
This CrimeMaps page tracks police-reported crime for Stratford, Ontario, for September 2026, when 80 incidents were published in the last complete calendar month feed. The figures come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario, repackaged here with charts, category breakdowns and a searchable map. For residents and researchers, it offers a consistent, month-by-month view of what was reported, where points are available, and how the mix shifts through the year.
The headline total of 80 covers September 2026 only, not a year-to-date total and not the map's rolling window. The category mix shown reflects the broader 2026 year-to-date record through September, totalling 537 dated incidents from April 11 to September 26, 2026. For context, the interactive map currently displays 223 incidents from its most recent 60 days, a different rolling cut than the calendar-month headline.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for this period. The archive series behind the chart contains a single calendar year, 2026 with 537 dated incidents, so there is no complete prior-year pair to compare against September 2026. That reflects the current feed cut from April 11 to September 26, 2026, rather than a full multi-year history for Stratford. As additional complete months and future calendar years are published, a like-for-like September comparison and annual trend line will become possible. Until then, the 80-incident September count stands as a monthly benchmark.
Category breakdown
The broader 2026 year-to-date mix through September is led by Theft, with 293 reports accounting for 54.6% of dated incidents. Fraud follows with 101 reports, or 18.8%, while Assault accounts for 78 reports, or 14.5%. Together those three shape the published mix for Stratford so far this year, with property-related entries prominent. Beyond the top three, Break and enter contributed 44 reports, or 8.2%, and Auto theft added 21 reports, or 3.9%. These category figures describe the 537-incident year-to-date record, not September alone, so the September total of 80 should be read separately from this breakdown. Readers can use this split to see which offence types drive the 2026 record to date.
What this means
Stratford recorded 80 incidents in September 2026, part of a 2026 year-to-date file of 537 dated incidents.

Break and enter at 44 reports and Auto theft at 21 reports round out the published top five. For readers, the surprise is how concentrated the file is in Theft and Fraud, with those two labels shaping much of the 2026 record through September.

Is incident volume in Stratford trending up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period for Stratford. The archive series provided contains only one complete entry, with 537 incidents in 2026, so there is no prior complete year to compare against. September 2026 itself recorded 80 incidents, but that monthly count should not be compared to a full prior year as if it were an annual change.
Which Stratford neighbourhoods have the most incidents?
Neighbourhood-level breakdowns are not available for Stratford in this source. The open-data feed used here does not publish sub-city geography that can be ranked, so no neighbourhood table is shown alongside the 80 incidents for September 2026. City-wide totals and the 2026 year-to-date mix of 537 incidents remain the geographic detail available for this period.
Where does Stratford's incident data come from?
Stratford figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Ontario compiled for CrimeMaps.ca. The September 2026 headline of 80 incidents and the year-to-date category mix totalling 537 records, including 293 thefts, are drawn from that open file. Coverage reflects what the portal publishes, not independently collected reports.
How current is the Stratford data on this page?
The page headline reflects September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts, with 80 incidents for that month. The latest record in the file is dated 2026-09-26. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 223 incidents, which is more recent activity and should not be confused with the September monthly total.
