Recent trend
The data presented captures incidents recorded on the latest day available in August 2026, a synthetic placeholder that aggregates all reports for that month. Because the upstream source provides only year‑and‑month granularity for this snapshot, the figures represent a month‑level view rather than a precise day‑by‑day tally. Users should note that neighbourhood boundaries in Ottawa’s open‑data system are periodically revised; definitions applied in earlier years may differ from those used for the current dataset, which can affect direct comparisons across time.
