Pickering City Centre recorded 51 incidents in Durham Region's police-reported dataset, representing 3.7% of the 1,364 incidents logged across the entire region. The data covers the period from April 17, 2026 to June 16, 2026.

The available data spans approximately two months in 2026, from mid-April to mid-June. This partial-year window limits year-over-year comparisons, as a full 2026 dataset is not yet available. Neighbourhood boundaries in Durham Region may also shift across releases, so direct comparisons with historical periods should account for potential boundary redefinitions by the upstream open-data portal.
Assault dominates the incident profile in Pickering City Centre with 28 recorded cases. Theft from vehicle follows at 7 incidents, and auto theft at 6. Together, these three categories account for the bulk of reported activity. The remaining incidents include 5 classified as Other, 3 robberies, and 2 break-and-enter cases.
Assault's 28-incident count is striking: it alone exceeds the entire neighbourhood totals of all other top categories combined, and it represents a far more violence-weighted profile than nearby Downtown Oshawa, where no single category dominates to this degree. The 31 violent incidents suggest roughly 60% of all reported crime here falls under violent classifications — a notably different composition than the property-heavy mixes common in suburban centres.
