Surrey reported 1,641 incidents from January to March 2026, while Vancouver reported 1,599 from April to June 2026. Theft-related incidents were the most frequent in Surrey, while Vancouver's data included a broader range of categories.
Surrey and Vancouver have published crime incident data for different periods in 2026. Surrey's dataset covers January to March 2026, with a total of 1,641 reported incidents. Vancouver's data spans April to June 2026, with 1,599 incidents recorded. These windows do not overlap, so the figures represent separate snapshots rather than a direct comparison.
In Surrey, theft-related incidents dominate the January-to-March 2026 window, accounting for 1,460 of the 1,641 total incidents. Break-and-enter incidents follow with 160 records. Vancouver's April-to-June 2026 snapshot shows a more diverse distribution: 586 incidents fall under 'Other,' while theft-related incidents total 554. Assault (102) and mischief (201) are also notable in Vancouver. The two cities' published windows highlight different incident profiles, but without overlapping dates, no direct comparison can be made.
Surrey's early-2026 snapshot is heavily concentrated in theft-related incidents, while Vancouver's spring data shows a broader mix, with 'Other' leading. The lack of overlapping dates means these figures should be read as separate published windows. Until same-period data is available, trends or differences between the cities cannot be assessed. The contrast in category distribution may reflect reporting practices or seasonal patterns, but no conclusions can be drawn without aligned timeframes.
Cities publish crime data on different schedules. Surrey's latest window covers January to March 2026, while Vancouver's spans April to June 2026. Without overlapping dates, the figures cannot be directly compared.
