Essay updated 2026-10-13 · figures above are from the latest data
TL;DR. Wetaskiwin recorded 71 property offences in September 2026, according to the RCMP K-Division open point layer for the census subdivision. The wider 2026 year-to-date mix through September is led by Theft with 141 incidents, accounting for 33.2%, followed by Mischief and break and enter. The feed covers property offences only; assault, robbery and other person crimes are not published on this layer.
About this data
This page tracks property offences reported in Wetaskiwin, Alberta for September 2026, when the RCMP K-Division public point layer recorded 71 incidents in the September 2026 calendar month. The open feed is property offences only, covering break and enter, mischief, theft, auto theft and theft from vehicle, spatially attributed to the Wetaskiwin census subdivision. Assault, robbery, homicide and other person crimes are not published on this layer, so absence from the map is not evidence they did not occur.
The category breakdown shown alongside the map reflects 2026 year-to-date activity through September, while the interactive map itself covers a rolling 60 days with 138 incidents. Comparing the September 2026 count of 71 with the longer year-to-date mix shows which property types recur in Wetaskiwin. These are incident counts, not crime rates.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for September 2026 because the comparison series contains only 2026, with 425 dated incidents recorded for that year, leaving no complete prior year to compare. The on-disk archive also centres on 2026, with 438 incidents across all years in the archive file, so there is no complete calendar-year pair for a like-for-like annual change. The headline figure of 71 remains a September 2026 calendar-month count, and should be read on its own rather than as evidence of a rise or decline.
Category breakdown
The longer 2026 year-to-date mix through September, which provides context for the September 2026 monthly count of 71, is led by Theft with 141 incidents, or 33.2 per cent of the dated total. Mischief follows with 106 incidents, or 24.9 per cent, while Break and enter accounts for 93 incidents, or 21.9 per cent. The remaining year-to-date property types are Theft from vehicle with 49 incidents, or 11.5 per cent, and Auto theft with 36 incidents, or 8.5 per cent. All five published categories are property offences from the RCMP K-Division layer, with no person offences included in these counts.
What this means
Wetaskiwin's September 2026 figure of 71 sits within a 2026 year-to-date pattern dominated by Theft at 141 incidents and Mischief at 106, with Break and enter close behind at 93. Theft from vehicle at 49 and Auto theft at 36 make up the smaller property slices. Because the RCMP K-Division feed publishes only those five property types, the totals describe that slice of reported activity, not overall crime in Wetaskiwin.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Wetaskiwin in September 2026?
Wetaskiwin had 71 incidents in September 2026, which is the last complete calendar month with published counts. That 71-incident figure is the September monthly total only, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map's 60-day window. The broader 2026 year-to-date file through September holds 425 dated incidents, while the full on-disk archive lists 438 incidents for 2026.
What type of offence was most common in Wetaskiwin's recent data?
Theft was the leading category in the 2026 year-to-date mix through September, with 141 incidents representing 33.2% of dated records. Mischief was next with 106 incidents, followed by break and enter with 93. These category counts describe the 2026 year-to-date file, not just September 2026, which had 71 incidents on its own. The open feed covers property offences only, so person crimes are not included in this ranking.
Have incident counts in Wetaskiwin gone up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period for Wetaskiwin. The multi-year archive series contains only 2026, with 425 dated incidents in the year-series file and 438 incidents in the full on-disk archive for 2026, so there is no complete prior calendar year to compare. September 2026 itself recorded 71 incidents, but without a comparable September in the published series, a year-over-year percentage cannot be stated.
Which neighbourhoods in Wetaskiwin have the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for Wetaskiwin in this source. The open file comes from the RCMP K-Division public point layer attributed to the Wetaskiwin census subdivision, without published neighbourhood boundaries for this city. Citywide, September 2026 recorded 71 incidents, and the 2026 year-to-date mix through September is led by theft with 141 incidents, but those totals cannot be split by neighbourhood.
Where does Wetaskiwin's map data come from?
The figures come from RCMP K-Division open data, supplied as the RCMP K-Division public point layer for the Wetaskiwin census subdivision in Alberta. In September 2026 the feed recorded 71 incidents, and the 2026 year-to-date mix includes 106 mischief incidents and 93 break and enter incidents. The layer publishes property offences only, including theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, mischief and break and enter, while person crimes are not on this feed.
How current is the Wetaskiwin data?
The open file spans 17 March 2026 to 6 October 2026, with September 2026 as the last complete calendar month at 71 incidents. Police may still add reports, so recent days can change. Separately, the interactive map shows a rolling 60-day window with 138 incidents, which is different from the September monthly total and from the 425 dated incidents in the 2026 year-to-date file.
