About this data
This page details public incident figures for Burnaby, British Columbia, based on official municipal open-data records. During the selected period of July 2026, the city registered a headline total of 237 incidents. Tracking these municipal statistics provides residents, neighbourhood associations, and local researchers with clear, verifiable information regarding recorded incidents across the community.
The headline total of 237 incidents applies specifically to July 2026, representing the last complete calendar month with published counts. This figure is distinct from the interactive map view, which covers 446 total incidents over a rolling 60-day window. While the monthly headline tracks July 2026 alone, the category breakdown reflects the 2026 year-to-date period through July, which encompasses 1,371 dated incidents from a multi-year archive spanning 2025 to 2026.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the July 2026 period because 2026 remains an open, incomplete year. Comparing a partial seven-month period against full annual figures from prior years would produce an inaccurate comparison. The complete multi-year archive for Burnaby contains 3,707 total incidents spanning from 2025 to 2026. Within this archive, calendar year 2025 recorded 2,336 incidents, while 2026 has registered 1,371 dated incidents through July. Multi-year comparisons require complete twelve-month calendar pairs, so percentage trends are withheld until the full 2026 annual dataset is published.

Comparing a partial calendar year to a full previous year would create a misleading picture of annual trends.
Why are neighbourhood-level breakdowns missing for Burnaby?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for Burnaby because the publishing open-data portal provides city-wide geographic records without sub-area or neighbourhood boundary tags. As a result, incident counts cannot be split by specific local communities or districts. All 1,371 incidents logged in 2026 year-to-date and 2,336 incidents from 2025 are summarized at the municipal level.
