About this data

This page details 1,192 reported property incidents published for Red Deer, Alberta, covering the 2026 (YTD, through Jul) period. The underlying figures originate from the RCMP K-Division public point layer, spatially attributed to the Statistics Canada census subdivision for Red Deer. This dataset tracks property-related incidents to help residents review open-data records across the municipality.

Because the dataset is drawn from RCMP K-Division property layers, published categories are limited to property offences, including break and enter, mischief, theft, auto theft, and theft from vehicle. Person crimes such as assault or robbery are not included on this feed. While the main page headline reflects 1,192 incidents for 2026 (YTD, through Jul), the interactive map displays 533 incidents from the recent 60-day rolling window.

Recent trend

Year-over-year percentage comparison is not available for the 2026 (YTD, through Jul) period because the dataset currently contains only 2026 records. The headline total reflects 1,192 dated incidents recorded between March 17, 2026, and August 13, 2026. Within the on-disk archive, a total of 1,293 incidents are recorded for 2026. Because there is no complete prior calendar year in this feed to establish a baseline, annual percentage trends cannot be calculated. Figures will update as additional monthly data is released by RCMP K-Division.

About this dataset

  • Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
  • Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see the Crime Severity Index for severity-weighted, population-adjusted rankings.
  • Property-focused open feed: Map points for this place come from the RCMP K-Division public crime layer, attributed to a Statistics Canada census subdivision for mapping. That open layer publishes property offences only (break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, mischief). Assault, robbery, homicide, and other person crimes are not included in this feed — so their absence on the map is not evidence they did not occur.
  • CSD attribution: The upstream layer does not name municipalities. CrimeMaps assigns each point to a 2021 Census Subdivision boundary; detachment areas are not identical to CSD boundaries, so edge error near borders is expected.
  • Privacy: Coordinates on the map are rounded to roughly 111 m so individual addresses cannot be inferred.
  • Data window: 2026 (YTD, through Jul).
