Winnipeg crime 2026

Winnipeg recorded 4,912 police-reported incidents in 2026, the only year currently available in this dataset. This page presents a city-wide view of those records, broken down by offence category and ranked against other years in the series.

Because 2026 is the sole year published, no year-over-year comparison is possible. The data reflects what Winnipeg Police Service logged during this period, subject to reporting practices and any partial-year coverage in the upstream release.

Year-over-year

The 2026 dataset spans a single year in Winnipeg's published records, with 4,912 incidents representing the complete city total. Auto theft and assault sit nearly neck-and-neck as the two largest categories, together accounting for a substantial portion of all reported incidents. The "Other" category — which aggregates offences not separately classified — ranks third at 887 incidents, ahead of mischief, fraud, and theft. With only one year on file, patterns across seasons or longer-term shifts remain outside the current view.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Auto theft edging out assault by just five incidents is the narrowest margin among top categories — unusual for a city where violent crime typically dominates headlines. The 887 "Other" incidents represent a sizeable unclassified bucket, limiting granular insight. With 2026 standing alone in the series, no trend direction can be inferred; the rank of 1 out of 1 confirms this is simply the only window published so far.
