Wood Buffalo crime 2026

Wood Buffalo's 2026 open-data file contains 708 reported incidents, the only full calendar year in the city's on-disk archive. This page summarizes those records by category and identifies the top offence types for the year.

The leading category is Theft, with 248 records, followed by Mischief (150), Theft from vehicle (121), Auto theft (102), and Break and enter (87). These counts come from the RCMP K-Division open-data file for Alberta and reflect reported incidents only, not population-based rates. All figures on this page come from the same municipal archive.
