Ajax crime overview

Essay updated 2026-10-11 · figures above are from the latest data

The October 10, 2026 mix was Assault with 1 record, Auto theft with 1 record, and Other with 1 record. Incidents were listed in Ajax Northeast, Ajax Northwest and Carruthers.

About this data

This Ajax page summarizes 3 incidents recorded for the latest reporting day, 2026-10-10, from Durham Regional Police Service open data. The day's file includes 1 Assault, 1 Auto theft and 1 Other, each representing 33.3% of the 3 records. Figures reflect the city's latest exact occurrence day at the time of publishing, and police may still add reports for 2026-10-10, so the count can rise.

Ajax is published as part of the Durham Region feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer to allow local review. The interactive map shows a separate rolling 60 days with 236 incidents, which is distinct from the 3 records on 2026-10-10. Keeping the daily snapshot separate from the rolling map helps neighbours see what was reported most recently in Ajax Northeast, Ajax Northwest and Carruthers while retaining broader context.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-10) period, because a single-day snapshot cannot be compared to a complete prior year as an annual change. The archive year series lists 652 records in 2025 and 932 dated records in 2026, alongside earlier years from 2013 through 2024 ranging from 1 to 8 records, while the full on-disk archive holds 1,650 incidents from 2013 to 2026. Those multi-year figures provide calendar context only and do not convert the 3 records on 2026-10-10 into a yearly total.

Category breakdown

The Latest day (2026-10-10) mix in Ajax was evenly split across three categories. Assault accounted for 1 record, or 33.3% of the 3 incidents. Auto theft also accounted for 1 record, or 33.3%. Other accounted for 1 record, or 33.3%. With only 3 records on 2026-10-10, each file carries the same share, so no single category stands apart on this day. This breakdown describes only the latest occurrence day and does not represent the year-to-date mix or the rolling 60 days shown on the interactive map. Readers reviewing Ajax within Durham Region can compare this daily result with longer archive files for nearby Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering.

Where incidents concentrate

Three Ajax neighbourhoods each recorded 1 incident on 2026-10-10: Ajax Northeast, Ajax Northwest and Carruthers. Across 9 neighbourhoods tracked for Ajax, these three areas account for the 3 records on this latest day, with no other neighbourhood reporting more than 1. This reflects where the dated reports were located on that day and does not represent per-capita risk, since counts are not adjusted for population or area. Daily neighbourhood splits can shift with only a few files, so longer periods give a steadier view of geographic distribution.

What this means

What stands out for 2026-10-10 is how small the Ajax file is: only 3 incidents, split evenly among Assault, Auto theft and Other at 1 record and 33.3% each. That even split is a function of the low daily count rather than a lasting pattern. For broader context, the full-archive breakdown of Other shows 115 records of Impaired & dangerous driving, representing 100% of Other and 7% of the archive total. The contrast between the latest day and the 236 incidents in the rolling 60 days underlines daily variability.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Ajax on the latest day?
Ajax had 3 reported incidents on 2026-10-10, which is the latest reporting day in this feed. That daily count is separate from the interactive map's 60-day window and from the multi-year archive. Police may still add late reports for that date, so the count can rise. The day's mix was one assault, one auto theft and one Other incident.

What type of incident was most common on that day?
The latest day shows a three-way tie at 1 incident each: Assault at 33.3%, Auto theft at 33.3% and Other at 33.3%. Assault sorts first in the source ranking, so it is listed as the leading category for the day. For context, the full-archive Other total of 115 incidents is entirely Impaired & dangerous driving, which is separate from this 1-incident daily Other count.

Has reported incidents in Ajax gone up or down compared to last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this latest-day period. The archive series lists 652 incidents in 2025 and 932 dated incidents in 2026, while the full archive lists 975 incidents in 2026 including later records. Because 2026 is still incomplete and the headline covers only October 10, those annual figures should not be read as a complete-year increase.

Which Ajax neighbourhoods had the most incidents that day?
Three neighbourhoods each recorded 1 incident on October 10: Ajax Northeast, Ajax Northwest and Carruthers. With 9 neighbourhood areas tracked for Ajax, the daily total of 3 was spread evenly rather than concentrated in one place. This even split reflects a single-day snapshot; longer periods show different patterns across the city's neighbourhoods.

Where does the Ajax incident data come from?
The figures come from Durham Regional Police Service open data, provided as a Durham Region regional feed and split to the Ajax municipal page. Ajax shares this source with Oshawa, Whitby, Pickering and other Durham municipalities. Categories and neighbourhood boundaries follow the police service's open-data definitions, so counts reflect reported incidents in that system.

How up to date is the Ajax data?
The latest incident date is October 10, 2026, which is also the Latest day (2026-10-10) headline. The file was generated October 11, 2026, so the October 10 count of 3 may still rise as late reports are added. Separately, the interactive map shows a rolling 60-day window with 236 incidents, which is different from the single-day headline.
