This page presents reported assault incidents in Durham Region, Ontario, drawn from open police data covering April 17 through June 16, 2026. Assault is the largest of seven crime categories tracked during this reporting window, with 569 recorded incidents.
Assault accounts for 41.7% of all 1,364 incidents reported across every category in Durham Region during this period. The data spans roughly two months and reflects occurrences logged by Durham Regional Police Service. One incident in the assault dataset lacks a usable occurrence date, so 568 of the 569 records are date-stamped within the window.
Assault ranks first among Durham Region's seven tracked crime categories, with 569 incidents — more than double the next-largest category, theft from vehicle at 259. Auto theft follows at 192, break and enter at 156, other incidents at 124, and robbery at 61. No year-over-year comparison is available for assault because some selected-window records lack a usable occurrence year, which suppresses the annual series. The two-month window from April to mid-June 2026 means these counts represent a partial-year snapshot rather than a full annual total.
Assault dominates Durham Region's crime profile in this two-month window, accounting for 41.7% of all incidents — a larger share than theft from vehicle, auto theft, and break and enter combined would suggest at first glance, though no derived totals are computed here. Downtown Oshawa's 66 incidents stand well above the next neighbourhood, Lakeview at 32. Because the reporting window covers only April 17 to June 16, 2026, and no annual series is available, readers should treat these counts as a partial snapshot rather than a trend indicator.
