Essay updated 2026-10-11 · figures above are from the latest data

TL;DR. Oshawa recorded 1 incident on its Latest day (2026-10-10), October 10, 2026, according to Durham Regional Police Service open data. The day's mix was Assault with 1 report in Downtown Oshawa.

About this data

This page tracks reported incidents in Oshawa, Ontario for the latest day, 2026-10-10, based on Durham Regional Police Service open data. The headline total for that day is 1 incident, centred in Downtown Oshawa. Oshawa is published as part of the Durham Region regional feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer, alongside Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and other neighbours.

For residents and researchers, the day-level view shows exactly what was published for 2026-10-10, and police may still add reports for it, so the count can rise. That is distinct from the interactive map's rolling 60 days window, which holds 580 incidents, and from the full multi-year archive spanning 2009 to 2026. The day focus keeps short-term reporting visible without mixing it with longer trends.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the selected period of 2026-10-10. The headline figure is a single reporting day with 1 incident, not a complete calendar year, so it cannot be compared to a full prior year as an annual change. The on-disk archive provides longer calendar context from 2009 to 2026, including 2,258 dated incidents in 2026 and 1,709 in 2025, but those archive year counts are distinct from the latest-day headline. The archive year series shows earlier years with very low published counts, such as 20 in 2024 and 15 in 2023, reflecting coverage changes rather than a comparable trend.

Category breakdown

The Latest day (2026-10-10) mix consists of 1 incident classified as Assault, representing 100% of the day's published total. With only a single record for the day, there is no broader distribution across other categories to compare within this period. The full-archive Other grouping, which totals 272 records across all years, is entirely Impaired & dangerous driving at 100% of Other and 6.7% of the archive total, but that breakdown describes the multi-year archive and not the 2026-10-10 day. Assault is therefore the most common category for this single-day snapshot in Oshawa.

What this means

Oshawa's 2026-10-10 snapshot holds just 1 incident, classified as Assault and accounting for 100% of the day, with Downtown Oshawa recording 1 incident. That contrasts with 580 incidents in the rolling 60 days map window and the 4,089-record full archive from 2009 to 2026. For context, the archive's Other grouping of 272 records is entirely Impaired & dangerous driving, 100% of Other and 6.7% of the archive total. The single-day result reflects reporting for that date only.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Oshawa on the latest day?
Oshawa had 1 incident on the latest reporting day, 2026-10-10. That single-day count is the city's latest exact occurrence day in the file and is separate from year-to-date or map totals. Police services can still add late reports for that date, so the count for 2026-10-10 can rise after publication.

What type of incident was reported on October 10?
Assault was the only category recorded for 2026-10-10, with 1 incident accounting for 100% of that day's mix. That does not mean assault leads the full year; it reflects just the single-day snapshot. For longer context, the full archive holds 4,089 incidents from 2009 to 2026.

Are Oshawa incidents trending up or down compared to last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this single-day period. The multi-year file lists 2,258 records dated to 2026 and 1,709 records dated to 2025, but those are calendar-year tallies and the 2026 year remains open. The archive year series back to 2009 is provided for context rather than as a formal annual change for 2026-10-10.

Which Oshawa neighbourhood had the latest incident?
All of the latest day's activity maps to one area: Downtown Oshawa, with 1 incident. Oshawa is divided into 12 neighbourhoods in this feed, and no other neighbourhood recorded an incident for 2026-10-10. Single-day maps often show this kind of concentration because the daily count is very small.

Where does the Oshawa data come from?
The figures come from Durham Regional Police Service open data, with Oshawa split out as a municipal page from the wider Durham Region feed. Oshawa neighbours Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Scugog, Brock and Uxbridge in the same regional system. The full Oshawa archive contains 4,089 incidents ranging from 2009 to 2026.

How up to date are the Oshawa numbers?
The open file is current through 2026-10-10, the latest exact occurrence day used for the headline. It was generated on 2026-10-11, and late reports can still raise that day's count of 1. Separately, the interactive map shows a rolling 60-day window with 580 incidents, which is why the map total differs from the single-day headline.
