About this data

This page summarizes reported crime in Whitby, Ontario for the Latest day (2026-10-10), based on Durham Regional Police Service open data. The headline total is 1 incident recorded on 2026-10-10, the city's latest exact occurrence day. That day's mix was Auto theft alone. The listed neighbourhood for the day was Dryden-Anderson. As reports are processed, police may still add records for this date, so the count can rise.

Whitby is published as part of the Durham Region regional feed, with municipality pages split from the regional open layer for Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering and other neighbours. Use this page for the single-day snapshot and neighbourhood listing, and use the interactive map for the recent rolling context, which shows 278 incidents in 60 days, separate from the 1 incident on the latest day.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-10), because the headline refers to a single occurrence day on 2026-10-10 rather than a complete calendar year. Single-day counts cannot support an annual comparison. For broader calendar context, the on-disk full archive for Whitby spans 2008 to 2026 with 1,757 incidents in total. The archive series lists 8 records in 2024, 695 records in 2025 and 1,035 records in 2026. The 2026 figure remains an open year, so it is not directly comparable to earlier complete years as a final annual total.

Category breakdown

The Latest day (2026-10-10) breakdown for Whitby contains a single category. Auto theft recorded 1 incident, representing 100% of the 1 incident headline total for 2026-10-10. No other category rows are listed for this latest occurrence day, so the day's published mix is entirely Auto theft. This reflects the city latest exact occurrence day basis, not a year-to-date or 60-day mix. In a single-incident day, the percentage naturally sits at 100% because the category count matches the headline total. Readers looking for a broader mix should consult the interactive map's rolling 60 days with 278 incidents, or the full archive spanning 2008 to 2026, rather than reading this one-day, one-category result as a typical pattern.

What this means

What stands out is how thin the Latest day (2026-10-10) is: 1 Auto theft incident, 100% of the day, listed in Dryden-Anderson, against 278 incidents in the rolling 60-day map window and 1,757 incidents in the full 2008 to 2026 archive. For context on the archive's Other grouping, Impaired & dangerous driving accounts for 203 records, or 100% of Other and 11.6% of the archive total. The single-day result shows a quiet reporting day, not a pattern for Whitby across the larger Durham Regional Police Service feed.

FAQ

How many incidents were reported in Whitby on the latest day?
Whitby recorded 1 incident on 10 October 2026, which is the Latest day (2026-10-10) in this feed. That headline is the city's latest exact occurrence day, not a year-to-date or multi-year total. Police may still add late reports for that day, so the count of 1 can rise as records are processed.

What was the most common type of incident on that day?
Auto theft was the only category recorded for the latest day, with 1 incident accounting for 100% of the day's mix. No other categories were reported for 10 October 2026 in Whitby. For longer context, the full archive includes 203 impaired and dangerous driving records, which represent 100% of the Other grouping and 11.6% of the archive total.

Are incidents in Whitby trending up or down year over year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this selected period, because the headline covers only 10 October 2026. For calendar context, the archive series runs from 2008 to 2026 and lists 8 incidents in 2024, 695 in 2025 and 1,035 in 2026, while the year-series extract lists 999 records for 2026. Those multi-year figures use different bases and should not be read as an annual change.

Which Whitby neighbourhood had the latest-day incident?
The 1 incident on 10 October 2026 was recorded in Dryden-Anderson, which therefore accounts for the entire latest-day total. Whitby has 10 neighbourhoods tracked in this feed, so nine recorded no incidents that day. Neighbourhood assignments reflect Durham Regional Police Service boundaries and reporting, not a comparison of neighbourhood safety over time.

Where does Whitby's crime data come from?
The figures come from Durham Regional Police Service open data, with Whitby split out as a municipality from the Durham Region regional feed. Whitby's municipal page sits alongside sibling municipalities such as Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering and Clarington within the same regional hub. Counts reflect what that service published and mapped, not unofficial estimates.

How current is the Whitby data on this page?
The data is current through 10 October 2026, the maximum occurrence date and the Latest day (2026-10-10). That 1-incident headline is the latest exact day, which can still grow if late reports are added. Separately, the interactive map's rolling 60-day window contains 278 incidents, which is a different recent-window view and not the same as the single-day headline.
