About this data

Wetaskiwin's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) open-data page covers property offences attributed to the city through the RCMP K-Division public point layer. Records are spatially assigned to a Statistics Canada census subdivision, and the layer's published categories are limited to break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, and mischief. Person crimes such as assault, robbery, and homicide are not on this open feed, so their absence here is not evidence that they did not occur.

For the 2026 year-to-date period, the open layer records 285 incidents. The interactive map's rolling 60-day window shows 150 incidents, a shorter recent slice than the 285-record year-to-date total, which reflects the full calendar-year-to-date archive through the last complete month. Tracking this property-focused mix can help residents and local officials see which offence types are common in Wetaskiwin's open data and how the map's recent window compares with the broader year.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for Wetaskiwin's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) figures. The available year series has no completed calendar year before 2026, so there is no prior-year pair to calculate a comparison. The 285-record total describes the latest calendar year to date, not a 60-day map-window count. For a shorter view, the interactive map's 60-day window shows 150 incidents from the same open-data archive. Because the period is still open, a partial-year total would not be equivalent to a full annual figure even if a prior-year comparison existed.

Category breakdown

Theft is the most reported category in Wetaskiwin's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) open data, with 95 incidents (33.3% of 285). Mischief is next with 77 incidents (27%), followed by break and enter with 59 incidents (20.7%). The remaining top-five categories are theft from vehicle with 32 incidents (11.2%) and auto theft with 22 incidents (7.7%). All five listed categories are property offences, matching the RCMP K-Division layer's property-only scope. These are the categories available in the open-data feed for this period.

What these numbers mean

Theft stands out in Wetaskiwin's 2026 (YTD, through Jul) open data: 95 records, or 33.3% of 285 incidents. Mischief (77, 27%) and break and enter (59, 20.7%) are the next two largest groups, while theft from vehicle (32, 11.2%) and auto theft (22, 7.7%) complete the property-only top five. The open feed records no violent-category incidents (0), which reflects the RCMP K-Division layer's scope rather than a claim about public safety. The 60-day map view's 150 incidents is a much smaller recent window than the 285-record year-to-date figure.

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).

The 2026 selected period, year-to-date through July, has 285 incident records on the RCMP K-Division open-data layer. This is a property-offence feed, so the total covers break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle, and mischief. Person crimes are not published in this layer.

How does 2026 compare with previous years?

No year-over-year change is available for this period. The property-only archive contains 306 total records, all dated 2026, and the selected YTD series has a single 2026 entry, so there is no prior-year baseline to compare against.

Why is there no neighbourhood breakdown for Wetaskiwin?

Neighbourhood-level breakdowns are not available for this source. The RCMP K-Division point layer is spatially attributed to a Statistics Canada census subdivision, so the open-data feed does not publish neighbourhood geographies for Wetaskiwin.

The selected period is 2026 year-to-date through July, and the latest record date in the open-data feed is August 11, 2026. The interactive map’s 60-day view contains 150 records, which is a shorter lookback than the page’s 285-record YTD headline.
