About this data
This page summarises criminal incident data for Stratford, Ontario, recorded during August 2026. The headline figure shows 98 incidents reported in that calendar month, drawn from the city’s official police open‑data portal. The interactive map visualises points from the same source, while a broader 60‑day rolling window captures 188 incidents for recent trends. The dataset also breaks down incidents by category, with theft, fraud and assault leading the YTD mix, and records a violent count of 55 incidents for the period through August. These details are integrated into the map's category filters, allowing users to explore specific offence types.
Understanding the monthly totals helps residents and planners gauge short‑term safety patterns and compare them with longer‑term year‑to‑date and map‑window data. The August snapshot reflects the most recent complete month of reporting, while the 60‑day rolling window offers a view of recent activity beyond the month. Together, these figures support community awareness and enable authorities to allocate resources more effectively.
Recent trend
Year‑over‑year change cannot be shown for August 2026 because the archive currently contains only a single year of data, with the YTD series ending at 424 incidents. Without a comparable prior‑year total for the same month, a percentage change cannot be calculated. Consequently the page focuses on the absolute August count and the broader YTD and 60‑day windows to provide context. Analysts must wait for additional historic months to be added before meaningful month‑to‑month trends can be assessed. For now, readers can compare the August total to the YTD tally of 424 incidents.

Together these three categories represent the bulk of reported incidents, while Break and enter (37 incidents, 8.7%) and Auto theft (15 incidents, 3.5%) complete the top five.
