About this data

The 2019 West Nipissing crime data present a complete calendar‑year snapshot of all incidents reported to the official police open‑data portal for Ontario. A total of 746 incidents were recorded, including 10 violent offences such as assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide and shooting. These open‑data totals reflect the full year rather than the rolling 60‑day map window, which shows 501 incidents for a recent period.

These figures help residents, researchers and policymakers explore the composition of crime in West Nipissing, identify the most common incident types and gauge the scale of police activity across the community for 2019.

Recent trend

Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2019 period because the year series contains only a single year of data, providing no prior complete‑year comparison. Consequently, the dataset does not include a calculated YoY percentage for this timeframe.

Category breakdown

In 2019, the "Other" category was by far the most common, accounting for 668 incidents (89.5% of the total). Within this group, the leading subcategory was "Calls for service" with 307 incidents, representing 46% of the Other category and 41.2% of all incidents. The next most frequent categories were "Theft" with 48 incidents (6.4%) and "Mischief" with 12 incidents (1.6%). Violent offences were recorded separately, totalling 10 incidents across assault‑type crimes.

Key stats

  • 746 total incidents reported in 2019.
  • 10 violent incidents (assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide, shooting) occurred.
  • Other category accounts for 668 incidents (89.5% of total).
  • Calls for service: 307 incidents (46% of Other, 41.2% of total).

What these numbers mean

West Nipissing's 2019 crime profile is dominated by the "Other" classification, which comprises nearly nine‑tenths of all reported incidents. A substantial share of these are calls for service, highlighting the police workload beyond traditional offence categories. Violent crime is comparatively low at only 10 incidents, while property‑related offences like theft and mischief together make up less than 8% of the total. The concentration of calls for service suggests that many reported events are non‑criminal interactions with police rather than traditional crimes.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • What "Other" includes: The parent Other category is split on the map into Traffic & MVC, Drugs, Weapons offences, Bylaw & Provincial, Calls for service, and Other crime. In this dataset the largest Other slice is Calls for service (46% of Other, 307 records). These are open-data rows, not a separate "mystery crime" class.
  • Data window: 2019.

Frequently asked questions about crime in West Nipissing

How many incidents were reported in West Nipissing in 2019?

West Nipissing's 2019 open-data archive contains 746 reported incidents. Ten of those are violent-category incidents, combining assault, sexual assault, robbery, homicide and shooting. The total covers the 2019 archive year; it is not the 60-day rolling map window.

What is the most common incident category in West Nipissing?

The most common category is 'Other', with 668 incidents — 89.5% of the 2019 total. Within that grouping, the largest slice is calls for service at 307, followed by traffic/MVC at 199, bylaw/provincial at 96, other crime at 51, drugs at 11 and harassment at 4. Harassment under Other is a person offence from the open data, not physical assault. Theft is the next largest standalone category, at 48 incidents.

Is the number of incidents in West Nipissing going up or down?

Year-over-year change is not available for this period. The archive series used for comparison contains 2019 only, so there is no earlier complete year to measure against. That means the 746-incident total is presented without a claim that incidents went up or down.

Why isn't there a neighbourhood breakdown for West Nipissing?

Neighbourhood-level counts are not available for West Nipissing from this source. The open-data feed for 2019 does not provide a neighbourhood breakdown, so incidents are reported at the municipal level only.

Where does this incident data come from?

These figures come from West Nipissing's official open-data feed published through Ontario's municipal open-data portal. The dataset is a full-archive extract for 2019 with incident counts by category. All 746 incidents counted on this page trace back to that open-data feed.

How recent is this West Nipissing data?

The latest incident date recorded in the dataset is April 4, 2019, and the page presents the 2019 selected period as an archive snapshot, not a live feed. The interactive map's 60-day rolling view is a separate layer and is not the basis for the 746-incident headline total.
