This page summarises crime incident data for Thunder Bay, Ontario, for the calendar year 2024. The figures come from the Thunder Bay Police Service’s open‑data feed (CityProtect CSV export) covering incidents reported up to 24 October 2024. All counts represent the total number of incidents recorded in the open‑data set for that year, not a short‑term snapshot. These counts are aggregated across all neighbourhoods and offence categories and reflect the police‑recorded incidents that were publicly released.
The data helps residents and decision‑makers see how many incidents occurred and which offence types were most common, providing a factual baseline for public safety discussions. For comparison, the interactive map on the site shows a rolling 60‑day window that recorded 1,733 incidents, a much smaller subset of the full‑year total. Users can filter the map by offence type to explore recent patterns, but the map window captures only a fraction of the activity shown here.
The open‑data series includes a full count for 2024 but does not provide a comparable figure for the preceding year, so a year‑over‑year change cannot be calculated for this period. Although the archive contains data for 2023, the YoY metric is not derived for the 2024 headline total. Consequently, the page reports the 2024 incident count without a percentage change relative to 2023. Readers should note that the 60‑day map window reflects a much smaller sample of incidents and is not used for the year‑over‑year comparison. Future data releases may provide a YoY change once a full prior‑year total is published.
In 2024, the leading offence type was “Other,” encompassing 3,409 incidents and representing 47.1 % of all reports. The most common specific category after Other was Assault, with 1,259 incidents (17.4 %). Theft followed with 1,048 incidents, accounting for 14.5 % of the total. Within the large “Other” group, Traffic & MVC incidents dominated, tallying 3,373 cases – that is 76.1 % of the Other category and 36.4 % of all incidents recorded. Bylaw & Provincial offences contributed 636 incidents, while Drugs accounted for 275 incidents. Break and enter contributed 517 incidents (7.1 %) and Mischief added 482 incidents (6.7 %), while Robbery was recorded 179 times (2.5 % of the overall count).
Thunder Bay’s 2024 open‑data picture is shaped by a large “Other” category, driven primarily by traffic‑related collisions that alone account for over a third of all incidents. Assaults rank second, contributing 1,259 cases, while the combined violent offence count reaches 1,497. Compared with the 60‑day map view’s 1,733 incidents, the full‑year total of 7,231 demonstrates the limited snapshot that the map provides. The prominence of traffic incidents within “Other” suggests that non‑criminal collisions form a substantial share of reported activity.
The open‑data feed records a total of 7,231 incidents for the 2024 calendar year. These incidents span the period from September 28, 2023 through October 24, 2024, reflecting all reported incidents that were entered into the CityProtect dataset during that time.
The leading category for 2024 is “Other,” accounting for 3,409 incidents (47.1% of the total). Within Other, the largest sub‑category is Traffic & MVC with 3,373 incidents (36.4% of all incidents). It also includes Bylaw & Provincial offences (636 incidents, 6.9%), Drugs (275 incidents, 3.0%), and Other crime (150 incidents, 1.6%).
Year‑over‑year change is not provided for the selected period. The archive shows 2,045 incidents in 2023 and 7,231 incidents in 2024, indicating a higher count for 2024, but an official YoY percentage is unavailable.
The underlying open���data source does not supply neighbourhood identifiers, so the dataset cannot break down incidents by neighbourhood. Consequently, neighbourhood‑specific charts or tables are not available for this city.
The primary source is the Thunder Bay Police Service Annual Reports – “The Year in Numbers: Crime Data,” which provide the most recent official police‑reported incident counts alongside the open‑data feed.
The open‑data set includes incidents recorded up to October 24, 2024. For comparison, the interactive map’s rolling 60‑day window shows 1,733 incidents, representing the most recent two‑month snapshot separate from the full‑year total.
