Wetaskiwin crime overview
Essay updated 2026-10-08 · figures above are from the latest data
TL;DR. Wetaskiwin recorded 2 incidents on its Latest day (2026-10-06), according to the RCMP K-Division open feed, which publishes property offences only. All 2 incidents were classified as Theft, accounting for 100% of the day's mix. This count reflects the city's latest exact occurrence day and police may still add reports, so it can rise. Assault, robbery and other person crimes are not published on this layer.
About this data
This page summarizes reported property offences in Wetaskiwin, Alberta for the latest occurrence day, 2026-10-06, when RCMP K-Division open data shows 2 incidents. The open feed for Wetaskiwin comes from the RCMP K-Division public point layer attributed to the Statistics Canada census subdivision, and it publishes property offences only, including break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle and mischief. Person crimes such as assault and robbery are not published on this layer, so absence from the map is not evidence they did not occur.
The 2-incident total is a day-level snapshot for 2026-10-06, not a year-to-date total, and police may still add reports for that day so the count can rise. For context, the interactive map shows 138 incidents in its rolling 60-day window, while the dated 2026 series holds 425 records. Tracking the daily figure alongside the broader window helps readers see how a low-count day fits within recent property-offence activity.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-06) period in Wetaskiwin, because the multi-year archive series contains only 2026, with 425 dated records, and no complete-year pair to compare. The full on-disk archive likewise holds only 2026, with 438 records, so there is no prior calendar year for a valid annual comparison. Daily counts in a property-only RCMP K-Division feed can move sharply from one occurrence day to the next, so a single-day total of 2 incidents is best read as a point-in-time snapshot rather than evidence of a trend.
Category breakdown
For the Latest day (2026-10-06), Wetaskiwin's open-data mix consisted entirely of Theft, with 2 incidents accounting for 100% of the 2-incident total. That makes Theft the leading category for this single-day snapshot in the RCMP K-Division property-only feed, which publishes break and enter, mischief, theft, auto theft and theft from vehicle. No other category appears in the latest-day top-category list, reflecting the very small daily count rather than the broader range of property offences seen over longer windows. With only 2 records on 2026-10-06, the 100% share does not indicate a longer pattern, and day-to-day mixes can differ as new occurrence days are published.
What this means
What stands out for Wetaskiwin on 2026-10-06 is how small and narrow the latest-day snapshot is: 2 incidents, both recorded as Theft, representing 100% of the day's property-only RCMP K-Division feed. That contrasts with 138 incidents in the interactive map's 60-day window and 425 dated records in the 2026 series, showing the day reflects limited activity compared with the longer windows. Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this source, and person crimes are not published on this layer.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Wetaskiwin on the latest day?
Wetaskiwin had 2 open-data incidents on its latest reporting day, 2026-10-06, with both records falling on that date range from 2026-10-06 to 2026-10-06. This 2-incident headline is the city's latest exact occurrence day, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map's 60-day window. Police may still add late reports for 2026-10-06, so the count can rise after posting.
What type of incident was most common on the latest day in Wetaskiwin?
Theft was the only category recorded on 2026-10-06, with 2 incidents accounting for 100% of that day's 2-incident total. The Wetaskiwin feed comes from the RCMP K-Division property-only layer covering break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle and mischief, so person crimes such as assault and robbery are not published here. Absence from this feed does not mean those crimes did not occur.
Are incident counts trending up or down in Wetaskiwin?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the archive lists only 2026, with 425 dated incidents in the year series and a full-archive total of 438 incidents for 2026. With no prior complete calendar year to compare, no annual increase or decrease can be stated from open data. The latest-day total of 2 incidents on 2026-10-06 cannot be used as a trend on its own.
Which Wetaskiwin neighbourhoods had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Wetaskiwin source, so no neighbourhood ranking can be shown for the 2 incidents on 2026-10-06. The RCMP K-Division points are attributed to the Statistics Canada census subdivision for mapping rather than to municipal neighbourhood boundaries. Citywide totals, including the 138 incidents in the interactive map's 60-day window, remain the finest geography published here.
Where does the Wetaskiwin data on this page come from?
The figures come from RCMP K-Division open data spatially attributed to the Wetaskiwin census subdivision in Alberta. The public point layer covers property offences only — break and enter, theft, auto theft, theft from vehicle and mischief — and the latest day shows 2 theft incidents. Assault, robbery, homicide and other person crimes are not included on this feed.
How current is the Wetaskiwin data shown here?
The open-data extract is current through 2026-10-06, which is both the latest reporting day with 2 incidents and the maximum occurrence date in the file. That Latest day (2026-10-06) headline is separate from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which holds 138 incidents. Late reports can still be added for 2026-10-06, so the day's count may be revised.
