Windsor crime 2024

Windsor's 2024 open-data crime file contains 15,164 reported incidents, representing 32.8% of the 46,209 records in the city's full on-disk archive. This page covers that calendar year's city-wide totals, leading categories, and the subcategories behind the large Other grouping. Figures are counts of reported events drawn from Windsor's public data feed; they are not crime rates or per-capita measures.

Other was the year's largest category at 5,654 reports, with Theft close behind at 5,003. Fraud, Mischief, Break and enter, and Assault made up the next tier. Because this archive begins in 2024, no prior-year count is available for a year-over-year comparison on this page.

Year-over-year

In 2024, the Other category was the single largest bucket, and it was not residual noise: it held 5,654 reports, with Traffic & MVC alone accounting for 4,999 of them, or 33% of the year's total. Theft nearly matched that with 5,003. The Other category also included 469 Threats, a person-offence subcategory that Windsor's open-data structure demotes from coarse Assault or person parents rather than describing as unexplained miscellaneous crime. Fraud (1,313) and Mischief (1,136) formed the next tier, while Break and enter (912) and Assault (899) rounded out the top six. The 2024 total of 15,164 sits as the middle count within the 3-year city archive.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Windsor's 2024 file is dominated by Traffic & MVC inside Other: 4,999 of that category's 5,654 reports are traffic-related, and that subcategory alone equals 33% of the annual total. Theft's 5,003 is almost as large, so traffic and theft shape the year's mix. At 15,164, 2024 ranks second among the three years in the city archive, a notable mid-position in a short series. The 469 Threats under Other are person offences, not unexplained residual reports, which changes how the top category should be read.
