About this data

This page tracks reported crime in Ottawa, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-25), with 41 incidents recorded on October 25, 2026. The figures come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario and reflect the city's latest exact occurrence day, which sits within seven days of ingest. Police may still add reports for that day, so the count can rise.

For context, the interactive map shows 6,669 incidents across the rolling 60 days, a much wider window than the single-day headline on this page. Comparing the daily mix of 41 records against that recent map window helps readers see what was typical on October 25, 2026 versus recent weeks, while neighbourhood and category breakdowns show where incidents were logged.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the selected period, because the headline figure of 41 incidents covers only the Latest day (2026-10-25) rather than a complete calendar year. Single-day totals move sharply with reporting timing and cannot be compared to annual totals. For broader calendar context, the full-archive series shows 38,914 incidents in 2025 compared with 41,075 in 2024, a change of -5.3%, based on complete years. That archive spans 2001 to 2026 and is distinct from both the single-day headline and the 60-day map window of 6,669 incidents.

Category breakdown

On October 25, 2026, Ottawa logged 41 incidents. Assault led the day with 14 records, accounting for 34.1% of the total, tied with Theft, also at 14 records and 34.1%. Mischief followed with 6 records, or 14.6%. The remainder was Break and enter with 3 records, or 7.3%, plus Auto theft and Other with 2 records each, both at 4.9%. This even split between Assault and Theft is the defining feature of the day. For context on the Other label, the full-archive breakdown shows 30,758 Other records, made up entirely of Other crime at 100% of Other and 9.7% of the archive total, so the day's 2 Other records sit within that broader grouping.

Where incidents concentrate

For October 25, 2026, Sandy Hill recorded 6 incidents, the highest single-neighbourhood count for the day. Byward Market followed with 3 incidents. Fallingbrook, Lowertown and Overbrook - McArthur each recorded 2 incidents, while Portobello South also recorded 2 incidents. These figures reflect where the day's 41 reports were logged across Ottawa's 157 neighbourhoods, showing activity concentration on that date rather than population-adjusted risk. With only 41 incidents on a single day, small differences between areas do not indicate longer-term patterns.

What this means

Ottawa's latest day stands out for an even tie at the top: Assault and Theft each contributed 14 of 41 incidents, both at 34.1%, while Mischief added 6 records at 14.6%. Sandy Hill's 6 reports is the clearest single-day cluster, double the next area. The day's 2 Other records fit within a wider pattern where the full archive holds 30,758 Other records made up entirely of Other crime. With only 41 records, daily shares shift quickly, so this snapshot differs from longer windows.
