About this data

This map displays 639 police-reported incidents in Cobourg, Ontario, from March 19 to May 18, 2026. The data is drawn from the Cobourg Police Service public records feed, which publishes occurrence-level information on reported criminal incidents across the municipality.

The tool lets residents, business owners, and researchers see where police activity is concentrated by category and location. Because the feed updates as records are processed, the map reflects the most recent available release window rather than a live dashboard.

Recent trend

The dataset covers only 2026, with 639 dated incidents recorded from March 19 through May 18. No prior-year data is available for year-over-year comparison, so no trend direction can be stated. The single-year series shows 639 incidents for 2026, with all records carrying usable occurrence dates.

Category breakdown

Other dominates Cobourg's incident classifications, accounting for 550 records or 86.1% of the total. Theft is the second-most common category at 45 incidents (7.0%), followed by Assault at 28 incidents (4.4%). Mischief and Break and enter appear further down the list with 12 (1.9%) and 4 (0.6%) respectively. The large share grouped under Other indicates that the source agency classifies the majority of reported events outside the standard Uniform Crime Reporting categories shown.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

The standout feature of Cobourg's data is the overwhelming dominance of the Other category at 550 of 639 incidents — 86.1% — leaving only 13.9% of records in identifiable standard categories. Theft, at 45 incidents, is the only other category reaching double-digit counts. The near-absence of break-and-enter reports (4 incidents, 0.6%) is notable for a municipality of this scale. The narrow 60-day window limits trend interpretation.
