About this data
This page summarizes 5 incidents recorded in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the Latest day (2026-10-25), reflecting the city's latest exact occurrence day of October 25, 2026. Of that day's total, 3 were classified as Assault and 2 as Break and enter. The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Nova Scotia, presenting published incident counts as listed without adjustment.
For context, the interactive map displays a separate rolling 60 days window with 1,154 incidents, which helps place the single-day total of 5 in perspective. Daily views are useful for seeing the most recent reporting, while police may still add reports for October 25, 2026, so the count can rise. Readers can compare the day's mix with longer patterns before exploring neighbourhood details and category definitions below.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-25) because the year series contains only a single calendar entry for 2026, with 3,360 dated incidents, so there is no complete prior year to compare. The full on-disk archive for Halifax also lists 3,779 incidents for 2026, covering the same single-year span. With only one year available, no annual increase or decrease can be calculated for this period. As additional calendar years are published, a year-to-year comparison will become possible.
Category breakdown
The Latest day (2026-10-25) mix in Halifax totalled 5 incidents across two categories. Assault was the most common category with 3 incidents, accounting for 60% of the day's total. Break and enter followed with 2 incidents, representing 40% of the total. With only 5 records on October 25, 2026, each incident carries substantial weight in the percentage split, so the 60% and 40% shares reflect a very small daily base rather than a longer pattern. No other categories were recorded for this latest occurrence day in the published open-data feed. The two-category split keeps the day's profile simple compared with busier reporting days that span more offence types.
What this means
Halifax's Latest day (2026-10-25) was a small-volume day, with just 5 incidents: 3 Assault cases at 60% and 2 Break and enter cases at 40%. The narrow two-category total stands apart from the interactive map's broader 60-day window of 1,154 incidents. Readers should view the 60% Assault share as a function of a 5-record day, where one file shifts the split sharply, and check back once more reporting days accumulate.
FAQ
How many crime incidents were reported in Halifax on the latest day?
Halifax recorded 5 incidents on 2026-10-25, which is the city's latest reporting day in this open-data feed. The count covers that single day only and police may still add reports for it, so the total can rise. It is separate from the 1,154 incidents shown in the interactive map's 60-day rolling window and from the 3,360 incidents dated in 2026.
What type of crime was most common in Halifax on that day?
Assault was the most common category on 2026-10-25, with 3 of the 5 reported incidents, or 60% of that day's mix. Break and enter accounted for the remaining 2 incidents, or 40%. This ranking reflects only the latest-day breakdown and can change quickly with so few records, unlike the broader 2026 dated total of 3,360 incidents.
Are crime counts in Halifax trending up or down?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the archive contains only 2026, with 3,360 dated incidents and a full-archive total of 3,779 incidents for that year. With no complete prior year to compare against, no annual change can be calculated. The 5 incidents on 2026-10-25 should be read as a daily snapshot, not as evidence of a longer trend.
Which Halifax neighbourhoods had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Halifax source, so this page does not list leading neighbourhoods or compare areas within the municipality. The open feed provides city-level occurrence details, including the 5 incidents on 2026-10-25 and the 2026 dated total of 3,360 incidents, without a published neighbourhood geography to support a reliable local split.
Where does this Halifax crime data come from?
The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Nova Scotia, which supplies the incident records shown on CrimeMaps.ca. That feed provides the 5 incidents for 2026-10-25 and the 3,360 dated incidents for 2026. Coverage and category definitions follow the publisher's schema, so counts may differ from other summaries that use different reporting rules.
How current is the Halifax data on this page?
The data is current through 2026-10-25, the latest occurrence day published for Halifax at the time of this update. That day's total of 5 incidents may increase if late reports are added. For context, the interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 1,154 incidents, while longer comparisons use the 2026 dated set of 3,360 incidents.
