About this data
This page covers reported crime in Niagara Region, Ontario for the latest day (2026-10-25), based on the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario. The headline total is 3 incidents with occurrence dates on 2026-10-25, representing the city's latest exact occurrence day within seven days of ingest. As reports can still be added for this recent day, the count can rise as further records are published.
The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 857 incidents, which provides context for how small the single-day total is. Comparing the 3 incidents on 2026-10-25 with neighbourhood and category details shows exactly what was logged that day, without mixing it with year-to-date or map-window totals. That day-level view is useful for checking the most current entry in the Niagara Region feed.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the latest day (2026-10-25). The year series available for comparison contains only 2026, with 1,522 dated incidents, so there is no complete prior-year pair to calculate a change from. The full-archive total is 1,785 incidents for 2026, which is a separate all-time count and not the day headline. A meaningful annual comparison will require a second complete calendar year in the Niagara Region feed, rather than comparing the 3 incidents on a single day with a full-year total.
Category breakdown
The 3 incidents on 2026-10-25 split evenly across three categories. Assault recorded 1 incident, or 33.3% of the day, followed by Other with 1 incident, or 33.3%, and Theft with 1 incident, or 33.3%. With one record each, no single category forms a majority on this latest day. For context on what Other contains in this feed, the full-archive breakdown of 1,785 records lists Other crime with 971 records, representing 100% of Other and 54.4% of that archive total. That archive mix differs from the single-day split and does not describe 2026-10-25 alone. The day's figures reflect the latest occurrence-day extract rather than a longer trend.
Where incidents concentrate
Three neighbourhood areas each logged 1 incident on 2026-10-25: FORT ERIE, NIAGARA FALLS and ST CATHARINES. The source tracks 12 neighbourhood areas in total, so the day's reports were spread across separate communities in Niagara Region rather than repeated in one place. With only 3 incidents overall, each location accounts for 1 of the 3 records logged that day. This shows geographic concentration of reports for that day, not per-capita risk, since counts do not account for resident numbers or daytime activity. Broader patterns would need the 857-incident 60-day map view.
What this means
What stands out for Niagara Region is how light 2026-10-25 was: 3 incidents evenly divided among Assault, Other and Theft, with FORT ERIE, NIAGARA FALLS and ST CATHARINES each logging 1. That even split contrasts with the full archive of 1,785 records, where Other crime alone holds 971 records, or 54.4% of that total. The contrast with the 857 incidents in the 60-day map window underlines that a single day with 3 records does not describe longer activity across the region's 12 tracked neighbourhood areas.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Niagara Region on the latest day?
Three incidents were recorded for Niagara Region's latest reporting day, 2026-10-25. The day's mix was one Assault, one Other and one Theft. This 3-incident headline is the city's latest exact occurrence day, not the interactive map's 60-day window, which separately holds 857 incidents. Police may still add late reports for 2026-10-25, so the day's count can rise.
What type of incident was most common on the latest day?
No single category led outright on 2026-10-25: Assault, Other and Theft each recorded 1 incident, or 33.3% of the day's 3 records, with Assault listed first in the sorted feed. For wider context, the full-archive breakdown shows Other totals 971 records, all classified as Other crime, representing 54.4% of that archive total.
Is crime in Niagara Region going up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the open file contains only 2026, with 1,522 dated incidents recorded for that year. The full on-disk archive also covers only 2026, totalling 1,785 incidents, so there is no complete prior year to compare. A trend comparison requires a second complete calendar year.
Which neighbourhoods had the most incidents on the latest day?
There was no concentration on 2026-10-25: FORT ERIE, NIAGARA FALLS and ST CATHARINES each recorded 1 of the day's 3 incidents. The source lists 12 neighbourhood areas overall. With only 3 records spread evenly across three areas, the day shows a dispersed pattern rather than clustering in one area.
Where does the Niagara Region data on this page come from?
These counts come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Ontario compiled for CrimeMaps.ca, not from media reports. The latest-day file covers 3 incidents for 2026-10-25 across 12 neighbourhood areas, with categories such as Assault, Other and Theft. Definitions and late-reporting updates are controlled by the upstream publisher, so counts can be revised after release.
How current is the Niagara Region data shown here?
The page headline reflects the latest reporting day, 2026-10-25, which is also both the earliest and latest occurrence date in this 24-hour extract. That 3-incident total is distinct from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which holds 857 incidents. Because 2026-10-25 is within seven days of ingest, police may still add reports and the day's figure can increase.
