About this data

This page summarizes reported crime in Whitby, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-12), based on Durham Regional Police Service open data. The headline total is 3 incidents recorded on 2026-10-12, the city's latest exact occurrence day at ingest. Whitby is published as part of the Durham Region feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer.

The day-level view is useful for seeing the most recent mix — here 2 incidents grouped as Other and 1 break and enter — while the interactive map shows a broader 60 days with 276 incidents. Police may still add reports for 2026-10-12, so the day count can rise. Neighbourhood and category splits across Whitby's 10 neighbourhood areas help place the three records in context without implying per-person risk.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-12) period. A single-day count of 3 incidents cannot be compared to a complete calendar year as if it were an annual change. The on-disk archive provides longer calendar context, spanning 2008 to 2026 with a full-archive total of 1,764 incidents, including 695 records in 2025 and 1,042 records in 2026 in the archive series. Those archive calendar-year figures are distinct from the 3-incident latest-day headline and are not a year-over-year change for 2026-10-12.

Category breakdown

For 2026-10-12, Whitby recorded 3 incidents: Other accounted for 2 incidents, or 66.7% of the day, and Break and enter accounted for 1 incident, or 33.3%. Other is the leading grouping for the day, ahead of Break and enter. For context on what Other contains in this Durham Regional Police Service feed, the full-archive breakdown shows Impaired & dangerous driving with 206 incidents, representing 100% of Other and 11.7% of the archive total. That archive-level detail is separate from the 3-incident day mix and does not mean traffic matters drove the 2026-10-12 Other count. No additional categories were recorded on this latest reporting day.

What this means

Whitby's latest day is a very small 3-incident snapshot: 2 records grouped as Other (66.7%) and 1 break and enter (33.3%), with 2 incidents in Whitby South and 1 in Williamsburg. The surprise for readers is the archive context, where Impaired & dangerous driving accounts for 206 incidents, or 100% of Other. That explains what Other typically holds in this feed. With only three records on 2026-10-12 and 276 incidents in the 60-day map window, the day mix can shift with one or two new reports.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Whitby on the latest day?
Whitby recorded 3 incidents on 12 October 2026, the latest reporting day in this feed. That total covers reports with an occurrence date of 2026-10-12 and can rise if police add late reports for that day. It is a single-day count, not a yearly total and not the 276 incidents shown for the separate 60-day interactive map window.

What was the most common type of incident that day, and what does Other mean?
On 12 October 2026, Other was the most common category with 2 of the 3 incidents, or 66.7%, followed by break and enter with 1 incident. For context on what Other contains, the full-archive breakdown lists 206 Other incidents, all recorded as impaired and dangerous driving, representing 100% of Other and 11.7% of the archive total.

Has Whitby's reported total gone up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this selected period, which is the single day of 12 October 2026 with 3 incidents. For calendar context, the on-disk archive lists 695 incidents in 2025 and 999 incidents in 2026 in the city series, while the full-archive series lists 1,042 incidents in 2026, so treat those archive figures as multi-year context rather than as a completed yearly comparison.

Which Whitby neighbourhoods had incidents on that day?
On 12 October 2026, Whitby South recorded 2 incidents and Williamsburg recorded 1 incident in this feed. Whitby has 10 neighbourhoods in this geography, so most neighbourhoods had no incidents assigned for that single day. With a daily total of 3 incidents, this split reflects one day's reports rather than a longer neighbourhood pattern.

Where does Whitby's incident data come from?
Whitby's figures come from Durham Regional Police Service open data, provided through the Durham Region regional feed and split to the Whitby municipal boundary. Neighbouring municipality pages such as Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering are divided from the same regional layer. The full archive holds 1,764 incidents from 2008 to 2026 assigned to Whitby.

How current is the Whitby data on this page?
The page headline reflects occurrence data through 12 October 2026, the latest reporting day with 3 incidents, and police may still add late reports for that date. The interactive map uses a separate rolling 60-day window with 276 incidents. Year-level figures for 2026 remain year-to-date and incomplete, so the single-day headline should not be read as an annual total.
