About this data
This page summarizes 91 incidents reported in Stratford, Ontario during September 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts in the official police / municipal open-data portal for Ontario. The September 2026 figure covers that calendar month only. The broader category mix shown alongside it reflects 2026 year-to-date through September. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 237 incidents.
Residents and researchers can use the September 2026 total alongside the 2026 year-to-date breakdown by offence, which includes Theft, Fraud and Assault, to see what was reported and when. Dating runs from April 11, 2026 to October 10, 2026 in the current feed, with 548 dated incidents available for trend context, so monthly totals can be read against longer coverage without mixing month and year-to-date counts.

The 91-incident headline describes September 2026 only, not a 60-day window. For now, the 2026 year-to-date record through September provides context for the September 2026 monthly total.
