About this data
This Prince George crime data summary covers August 2026, recording 166 published incidents for the calendar month. Sourced from the municipal and official police open-data portal in British Columbia, these records track local police-reported occurrences across the city. This monthly view provides residents with verified, point-level incident records to monitor localized crime patterns without relying on anecdotal reports or unconfirmed neighbourhood claims.
The 166 reported incidents represent the single month of August 2026, distinct from the rolling 60-day map window that displays 797 recent incidents. While the headline figures focus specifically on August 2026, broader category breakdowns on this page reflect the 2026 year-to-date period through August 15, 2026. This distinction ensures readers examine specific monthly activity alongside broader seasonal patterns.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the August 2026 monthly total, as historical month-matched comparisons are not established for this single-month period. Additionally, 2026 remains an open calendar year with 2,478 dated incidents published through August 15, 2026, so it cannot be evaluated as an annual total. Across the full multi-year archive, completed annual comparisons show that incidents decreased by 8.7% from 4,109 in 2024 to 3,753 in 2025. These full-archive figures reflect complete calendar years rather than the partial-year 2026 dataset or rolling map windows, providing long-term perspective on Prince George's reported occurrences across the 2021 to 2026 archive.
