Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for August 2026 because the 2026 calendar year remains incomplete. The full multi-year archive spans from 2025 to 2026, containing 3,890 total incidents. In 2025, the open dataset logged 2,336 incidents over the complete twelve-month cycle, compared to 1,554 dated incidents recorded in 2026 through August. Because the 2026 count covers only eight months, comparing it directly against the full 2025 annual record would be misleading. Annual comparisons will become available once full twelve-month records for both years are complete.
