The neighbourhood sits within Alberta, where reporting patterns reflect a mix of residential and commercial activity. The data captures a roughly two-month snapshot of local policing activity, providing a baseline for comparing Westminster against the broader city profile and its adjacent communities. These figures reflect reported incidents rather than per-population rates, and they align with the upstream open-data portal's classification for the area.
The reporting window spans May 13 to July 12, 2026, covering a continuous 61-day period. Because Westminster’s boundaries are approximate and based on the upstream open-data portal’s classification, residents and analysts should note that boundary definitions may vary year to year. This means historical comparisons require caution, as shifts in geographic delineation could alter how incidents are allocated to Westminster or neighbouring areas. The current dataset reflects only the specified two-month window, so longer-term patterns remain outside this snapshot.
Other incidents lead the Westminster profile with 58 reports, followed by theft at 45 and assault at 30. These three categories account for the majority of the neighbourhood’s recorded activity during the May to July 2026 window. Break and enter contributed 12 incidents, while mischief and fraud rounded out the top six with 15 and 3 reports respectively. The violent incident count for the area stands at 31, which aligns closely with the assault figure. This category distribution highlights a property-focused reporting pattern within Westminster.
Westminster’s incident profile skews heavily toward property-related reporting, with Other and theft comprising over half of the 164 total.

The two-month window limits trend analysis, but the category split indicates a quieter, residential-focused reporting environment compared to the city’s central corridor.
