Windsor crime in 2026

The 2026 Windsor dataset records 12,148 incidents, the lowest of the three archived years and down from 19,326 in 2025; because 2026 is a partial-year file, that drop reflects reporting coverage rather than annual risk. Other is the leading category at 4,866 records, driven by Traffic & MVC (4,272), while Theft follows at 3,838. These are incident counts, not rates.

Windsor crime 2026

Windsor's 2026 open-data record shows 12,148 reported incidents so far, but the year is still in progress. That total is not a full annual figure; it covers the portion of 2026 captured in the archive through the most recent reporting update. For comparison, the 2025 full year contains 19,326 incidents. Because the 2026 window is shorter, a straight comparison of the two raw counts reflects reporting coverage, not a direct year-over-year change.

The current 2026 mix is led by Other at 4,866 reported incidents, with traffic-related records making up the bulk of that category. Theft follows at 3,838, followed by Fraud at 1,147 and Mischief at 934. These ranks describe reported incident counts within the partial 2026 archive.

Year-over-year

Windsor's 2026 reported count stands at 12,148 incidents so far. The year is not complete, so that number represents a partial reporting window. In comparison, 2025's full-year count was 19,326 incidents. Because the 2026 window is shorter, the raw difference between the two years does not indicate a year-over-year decline. No percentage change is presented here, since the two periods have different lengths. The 2026 figure should be read only as the current reported total for the part of the year captured in the archive.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

The standout in Windsor's 2026 data is that Other is the top category, and traffic records are the reason: Traffic & MVC accounts for 4,272 of the 4,866 Other incidents, or 35.2% of the year's total. Theft (3,838) and Fraud (1,147) follow. Other also holds 391 Threats records, a real person-offence subcategory in the open data. 2026 ranks third of the three archived years (2024: 15,164; 2025: 19,326), but that rank reflects a partial reporting year.

About this dataset

Frequently asked questions about Windsor crime in 2026

What is the total number of reported incidents for Windsor in 2026?

Windsor's 2026 open-data archive currently contains 12,148 reported incidents. This count is partial because the year is still in progress, so it represents the reporting period captured so far rather than a full calendar year. The 2025 full-year total was 19,326 incidents for comparison.

Is crime decreasing in Windsor compared with 2025?

Based on these raw counts, 2026's 12,148 is lower than 2025's 19,326, but the two periods are not directly comparable: 2026 data is still accumulating, while 2025 is a full year. No percentage change is calculated because the reporting windows differ in length. The lower 2026 figure reflects partial coverage, not necessarily a decline in reported incidents.

Which categories stand out in Windsor's 2026 data?

Other is the top category in 2026 with 4,866 reported incidents, and within that category Traffic & MVC accounts for 4,272 records. Theft is next at 3,838, followed by Fraud at 1,147 and Mischief at 934. Other also includes Threats, with 391 records as a person-offence subcategory.
