In 2026, Vancouver recorded 21,246 open-data incidents in an incomplete reporting year, compared to 33,234 total incidents in 2025. Because 2026 is a partial year, these figures reflect reporting rather than an annual decrease or per-capita risk. Theft was the leading category with 7,714 incidents, followed by assault with 3,966 and theft from vehicle with 3,445. The Other category (740 incidents) comprised entirely Traffic & MVC offences.
In 2026, Vancouver, BC registered 21,246 police-reported incidents in the municipal open-data record. This partial-year total represents 11.8% of the 180,697 incidents recorded in Vancouver across all tracked years from 2021 to 2026. Theft accounted for the largest category volume at 7,714 incidents, while assault recorded 3,966 incidents and theft from vehicle logged 3,445 incidents.
Because 2026 is an ongoing, partial calendar year, its count of 21,246 incidents cannot be evaluated as a complete annual total against the 33,234 incidents logged in 2025. Annual figures reflect total reported open-data entries rather than per-capita risk, and comparisons between incomplete and full calendar years should account for differences in data collection coverage across the multi-year series.
During the partial 2026 reporting year, Vancouver recorded 21,246 incidents. In comparison, the full 2025 calendar year logged 33,234 incidents, while earlier complete years recorded 34,667 in 2024, 37,779 in 2023, 36,078 in 2022, and 17,693 in 2021. Because data collection for 2026 remains in progress, comparing the partial count directly to full-year historical totals does not represent a full annual trend. Year totals reflect open-data reporting volume rather than per-capita risk, so partial-year figures must be interpreted with reporting duration in mind.
In 2026, Vancouver's open-data breakdown was led by theft with 7,714 incidents, followed by assault at 3,966 and theft from vehicle at 3,445.

Ranking 5th among 6 tracked years from 2021 to 2026, the partial 2026 tally of 21,246 shows property theft remaining the primary recorded volume.

This partial-year figure accounts for 11.8% of the city's 180,697 total incidents logged across the multi-year archive from 2021 to 2026. Because 2026 is an active reporting year, this count reflects data logged up to the snapshot generation date.
