Reported incidents in Chatham-Kent declined by 26.6% from 2025 to 2026, dropping from 1,580 to 1,159. This decrease reflects a shorter 60-day window in 2026 compared to the full-year 2025 data, so direct year-over-year comparisons should be made cautiously. The trend suggests fewer reported incidents in the most recent period, though seasonal or reporting factors may influence the numbers.
The majority of incidents fall under the 'Other' category, accounting for 2,336 reports (85.3%). Theft is the second most common, with 205 incidents (7.5%), followed by assault at 73 incidents (2.7%). Break-and-enter and mischief round out the top five, with 55 and 46 incidents respectively. Property-related crimes dominate, though the high proportion of 'Other' incidents suggests a diverse range of reported activities.
Chatham-Kent’s data stands out for its high concentration of 'Other' incidents, which dwarf all other categories. The 26.6% drop in reported incidents from 2025 to 2026 is notable, though the shorter 2026 window limits direct comparisons. The low violent crime count (77 incidents) contrasts with the heavy volume of property-related and miscellaneous reports. This suggests either robust reporting of minor infractions or a unique local crime profile compared to larger urban centres.
