About this data
This page summarizes reported crime in Cobourg, Ontario for May 2026, when 28 incidents were recorded as the last complete calendar month with published counts from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario. The underlying records span 7 January 2026 to 18 May 2026, so May offers a focused monthly snapshot within the broader 2026 year-to-date file of 302 dated incidents.
The page is useful for checking what was reported in that month and how the year-to-date mix through May breaks down by category, including Theft, Other and Assault, with counts and shares for context. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 124 incidents, so its total differs from the 28-incident May 2026 headline. All counts come directly from published records.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for May 2026 because the multi-year archive series provided for comparison contains only 2026, with 302 records in that year. Without a complete prior calendar year to compare against, no annual percentage change can be shown for this monthly headline. The 28-incident May figure should therefore be read as a last-complete-month snapshot, not as evidence of a rise or decline. Additional calendar months and years in future published updates would allow a like-for-like annual comparison for Cobourg's open-data file.
