The data covers a two-month window from mid-April to mid-June 2026. This partial-year period limits year-over-year comparisons; any apparent shifts against prior full-year totals would reflect seasonal or reporting-window effects rather than established annual trends. Boundary definitions for Durham Region neighbourhoods may vary year to year, so direct comparisons across longer time horizons should account for potential reclassification of incident locations.
Assault dominates Downtown Oshawa's incident profile with 66 records, more than four times the next-largest category. Theft from vehicle follows at 15 incidents, with break and enter close behind at 14. These three categories together account for the bulk of reported activity in the neighbourhood. Robbery (7), other incidents (6), and auto theft (4) round out the remaining significant categories.
