About this data

This page covers 342 incidents recorded for Prince George, British Columbia, in September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts. The figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal that publishes Prince George occurrences with neighbourhood and category details. The monthly view is useful for checking what was published for that calendar month and for comparing neighbourhood counts on a consistent month boundary.

The 342 total is the September 2026 month count only. The category breakdown discussed below reflects 2026 year-to-date through September, while the interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 717 incidents. Keeping the month headline distinct from the year-to-date mix and the map window helps readers see short-term publishing alongside longer coverage from 1 January 2021 to 10 October 2026.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the September 2026 monthly total of 342 incidents. The year series tracks dated records by calendar year: 4,559 in 2021, 4,915 in 2022, 4,712 in 2023, 4,109 in 2024, 3,753 in 2025 and 3,025 so far in 2026 through September. Because 2026 is still incomplete, it should not be compared directly with a prior full year as an annual change. For full-archive calendar context, complete years 2024 with 4,109 records and 2025 with 3,753 records show a change of -8.7%, distinct from both the September headline and the 60-day map window.

Category breakdown

The category mix reflects 2026 year-to-date through September, not the September 2026 month count alone. Theft leads with 1,168 records at 38.6%, followed by Mischief with 745 records at 24.6% and Theft from vehicle with 499 records at 16.5%. The lower-ranked property categories in the same year-to-date set are Break and enter with 378 records at 12.5%, Auto theft with 146 records at 4.8% and Bike theft with 89 records at 2.9%. Together the listing shows a property-focused open-data feed where theft-related entries account for the largest published shares in the 3,025 dated incidents recorded so far in 2026 for Prince George.

Where incidents concentrate

Among 32 neighbourhood areas, West Bowl lists 821 incidents and Downtown lists 713 incidents, followed by Van Bow with 190, College Heights with 175 and East Central Fort George with 172. Crescents with 131, Millar Addition with 116 and VLA with 104 follow in the same breakdown. The ordering reflects where published incidents were located in the open-data file, which is a measure of activity concentration by count. These are counts, not per-capita comparisons, so differences can reflect reporting and boundary coverage as well as local activity.

What this means

Prince George's September 2026 headline is 342 incidents, yet the 2026 year-to-date mix through September remains centred on Theft at 1,168 records and 38.6% with Mischief next at 745 records. The neighbourhood split is concentrated in West Bowl with 821 and Downtown with 713, well above Van Bow with 190. The full-archive Other split contains 47 records labelled Other crime, at 100% of Other. Readers comparing months should keep the 342 September count separate from the 717 incidents shown in the 60-day map window.
