Recent trend
A year-over-year change is not available for August 2026 because the open-data archive currently contains only the 2026 series, with 1,801 dated incidents recorded between March 10, 2026, and August 24, 2026. Because no complete prior-year comparison pair is present in the published records, calculating an annual percentage trend is not possible. Headline totals reflect the 296 incidents logged specifically for the month of August 2026 rather than an annual sum or multi-year trajectory. Annual trend comparisons will require subsequent complete calendar years of published open data.
