Toronto crime 2026

Toronto recorded 23,402 reported incidents in 2026, accounting for 5.5% of the 426,501 overall incidents compiled in the city dataset between 2000 and 2026. Because 2026 remains an active, in-progress recording period, this total reflects partial-year figures collected through the latest open-data release rather than a finalized annual count.

The 23,402 incidents logged so far in 2026 follow 36,248 total incidents recorded during the full 2025 calendar year. Because 2026 is an incomplete year, raw count totals cannot be evaluated as a final year-over-year shift. Across the entire 27-year archive spanning 2000 to 2026, the 2026 total currently stands as the 13th highest annual count on record for Toronto.

Year-over-year

The 23,402 incidents recorded in 2026 must be viewed within the context of Toronto's broader multi-year archive. The previous full year, 2025, registered 36,248 reported incidents. Because 2026 is an in-progress collection period, comparing the partial 2026 raw count of 23,402 directly against prior full-year totals does not indicate a completed annual trend line. In earlier complete calendar years, Toronto recorded 40,445 incidents in 2024 and 42,969 incidents in 2023. Final comparisons for 2026 can only be established once the full calendar-year dataset is concluded and published by police services.
