About this data

This map displays 1,364 police-reported incidents across Durham Region, Ontario, from April 17 to June 16, 2026. The data is sourced from the Durham Regional Police Service public crime-mapping portal, which publishes occurrence-level records for community awareness. Users can explore incident locations, categories, and neighbourhood patterns to understand where police activity is concentrated.

The 60-day window reflects the most recent available feed from the police open-data system. Because the portal updates on a rolling basis, the map captures near-real-time reporting rather than annual summaries. This makes it useful for spotting emerging patterns in specific areas, though it does not represent all incidents—some records may be withheld for privacy or operational reasons.

Recent trend

The year_series contains only 2026 data, with 1,363 dated incidents recorded so far. Because the dataset spans April through mid-June 2026, it covers a partial year and no year-over-year comparison is available. The single undated incident is excluded from year-trend figures. Without prior-year counts, no directional trend can be assessed for Durham Region at this time.

Category breakdown

Assault is the most frequent category, with 569 incidents representing 41.7% of the total. Theft from vehicle ranks second at 259 incidents (19%), followed by auto theft at 192 incidents (14.1%). Break and enter accounts for 156 incidents (11.4%), while Other groups 124 incidents (9.1%). Robbery is the least common among the listed categories at 61 incidents (4.5%). The violent-category total is 633 incidents, though assault alone comprises the majority of that figure.

Where incidents concentrate

Downtown Oshawa leads with 112 incidents. Lakeview and Oshawa Northwest are tied at 63 incidents each. Downtown Ajax follows with 56 incidents, and Frenchman's Bay records 55. These counts reflect incident concentration in specific areas, not per-capita risk, since neighbourhood populations vary across Durham Region's 50 neighbourhoods.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Assault dominates Durham Region's incident profile at 569 records—41.7% of all reported events—while theft from vehicle and auto theft together add 451 more. The violent-category count of 633 means nearly half the dataset involves violent incidents, a notably high share driven by assault. Downtown Oshawa's 112 incidents outpace every other neighbourhood, including tied runners-up Lakeview and Oshawa Northwest at 63 each. With only 2026 data available, trend direction remains unclear.
