Winnipeg recorded 6,482 reported crime incidents in partial-year 2026, compared to 21,497 in 2025.

Winnipeg crime 2026

In 2026, Winnipeg recorded 6,482 reported incidents in the city's official open-data archive. Because 2026 remains an active, in-progress calendar year, this partial figure accounts for 13 percent of Winnipeg's 49,782 total incidents documented across the complete multi-year archive spanning 2024 through 2026.

The 6,482 incidents logged so far in 2026 compare against 21,497 total incidents recorded during the full 2025 calendar year. Within the 2026 dataset, the broad Other category ranks highest with 1,503 incidents. Auto theft follows closely with 1,380 incidents, while Assault accounts for 1,001 incidents.

Year-over-year

The 6,482 incidents recorded in 2026 represent an incomplete snapshot of an active year, contrasting with 21,497 incidents logged in 2025 and 21,803 incidents logged in 2024. Because 2026 data collection remains in progress, comparing partial-year totals directly against full-year archives does not reflect annual change or per-capita risk. Annual totals track reported open-data volume rather than individual risk. Within 2026's Other category of 1,503 incidents, subcategories include 692 Other crime, 279 Threats, 157 Weapons offences, 156 Traffic & MVC, 144 Drugs, 41 Calls for service, and 34 Harassment. Threats and harassment reflect specific person offences assigned under Other rather than unexplained residual entries.
