The interactive map below plots locations and categories for British Columbia open-data reporting.
About this data
This page tracks 108 incidents recorded in Richmond, British Columbia during September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts from the official police and municipal open-data portal. The on-disk archive behind the page spans August 23, 2010 to October 19, 2026, giving a long view of how the September figure sits within Richmond activity. For residents and researchers, the monthly view offers a consistent checkpoint for comparing one complete month with earlier months without mixing in partial-month reporting.
The category mix shown here reflects 2026 year-to-date activity through September, with 1,075 dated records, rather than September alone. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 221 incidents. Keeping the September total distinct from the year-to-date mix and the map window helps readers interpret what belongs to the month and what describes broader recent coverage.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the September 2026 monthly total of 108 incidents. The September count stands alone as the last complete calendar month and is not directly compared with a full prior year. For longer calendar context, the full-archive series shows 1,520 incidents in complete year 2025 compared with 1,620 incidents in complete year 2024, a change of -6.2%. That archive comparison covers complete calendar years only and is distinct from the September headline and from the 1,075 records in 2026 year-to-date through September, which remains an incomplete year.
Category breakdown
The 2026 year-to-date mix through September is led by Theft from vehicle with 536 records, representing 49.9% of the 1,075 dated records. Break and enter follows with 331 records, or 30.8%, while Bike theft adds 102 records, or 9.5%. Together these three property categories shape the year-to-date profile shown for Richmond. The remainder includes Auto theft with 78 records, or 7.3%, and Theft with 28 records, or 2.6%. The source feed for this period lists no violent-category breakdown, and neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this source, so the year-to-date picture is property-focused and citywide rather than area-specific. All percentages are those published for the 2026 year-to-date mix.
What this means
Richmond's September 2026 total of 108 incidents sits against a 2026 year-to-date profile dominated by Theft from vehicle at 536 records and 49.9%, followed by Break and enter at 331 records and 30.8%. Bike theft at 102 records and 9.5% adds a third property thread, while Auto theft and Theft are smaller at 78 and 28 records. With neighbourhood breakdowns not available for this source, the story is citywide and property-centred, and the September month should be read separately from the 221-incident map window and the full-archive calendar comparison.
FAQ

The September figure is a calendar-month total, not a rolling average or map-window estimate.
What type of incident was most commonly reported in Richmond this year?

Break and enter is next with 331 incidents at 30.8%. These category counts describe the 2026 year-to-date period, not September 2026 alone, which totalled 108 incidents.
Are reported incidents in Richmond going up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for the selected September 2026 period because 2026 remains incomplete. For full-archive calendar-year context, 2025 recorded 1,520 incidents compared with 1,620 in 2024, a change of -6.2%. The archive year series also shows 2,368 incidents in 2023 and 1,075 dated incidents so far in 2026.
Why can't I see a breakdown by neighbourhood for Richmond?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Richmond source, so the 1,075 dated incidents in 2026 cannot be split by neighbourhood. The open file provides city-level records for Richmond, British Columbia without a published neighbourhood boundary set for this feed. For local context, use the September 2026 total of 108 incidents and the 2026 category mix instead.
Where does the Richmond data on this page come from?
These figures come from the official police and municipal open-data portal for British Columbia covering Richmond, not from estimates or media summaries. The file spans 2010-08-23 to 2026-10-19 and holds 20,356 records across all archive years. September 2026 contributed 108 incidents to that feed, with categories defined by the publisher.
How current is the Richmond data shown here?
The headline statistic is September 2026 with 108 incidents, the last complete calendar month with published counts. The underlying archive extends to 2026-10-19, so October records were still incomplete at publication. By contrast, the interactive map shows a separate rolling 60-day window with 221 incidents, which should not be confused with the monthly total.
