About this data

This map displays 110 reported incidents in Greater Sudbury over a 60-day period from August 5 to September 3, 2018. The data is sourced from the Greater Sudbury Police Service’s public portal, providing a snapshot of criminal activity during this window. While the dataset is limited to two months, it offers insight into the types and frequency of offences reported in the city.

Residents and policymakers can use this information to identify patterns, such as the prevalence of theft, and to understand where criminal activity was concentrated during this time. However, the short window means trends should be interpreted with caution, as seasonal or temporary factors may influence the numbers.

Recent trend

The dataset covers only August and September 2018, with no prior years available for comparison. As a result, no year-over-year trends can be assessed. The 110 incidents recorded during this period serve as a baseline, but without additional data, it is not possible to determine whether this represents an increase, decrease, or typical level of activity for Greater Sudbury.

Category breakdown

Theft dominates the reported incidents, accounting for 79 of the 110 cases, or 71.8%. Break and enter follows with 10 incidents (9.1%), while mischief contributes 8 (7.3%). Together, these property-related offences make up nearly 90% of the total. Assault, the most common violent offence, appears in 7 cases (6.4%), with all other categories combined representing less than 5% of the total.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Theft overwhelmingly drives Greater Sudbury’s summer 2018 crime snapshot, dwarfing all other categories. With 79 thefts in just 60 days, property crime is the clear focus, while violent offences like assault are far less frequent. The absence of neighbourhood-level data and the short timeframe limit deeper analysis, but the concentration of theft—nearly three-quarters of all incidents—stands out. Without prior years for comparison, it’s unclear whether this is typical or an anomaly, but the sheer volume of theft cases is notable.
