About this data
This page summarises Cobourg’s open‑data crime feed for the 2026 year‑to‑date period through May. The dataset, drawn from the official municipal open‑data portal for Ontario, records 2,030 reported incidents across all categories up to 18 May 2026. All incidents fall between 7 January 2026 and 18 May 2026, and the counts represent the full archive’s YTD totals rather than the rolling 60‑day map window.
These totals give residents a clear picture of how many incidents have been recorded this year and allow municipal officials to monitor trends as the year progresses. For a recent snapshot, the interactive map focuses on the last 60 days and currently shows 639 incidents. Users can filter the data by category, date and neighbourhood to explore patterns of activity. This information supports evidence‑based decisions for community safety initiatives.
Recent trend
Year‑over‑year change is not available for the 2026 year‑to‑date period because the year‑series dataset contains only this current year, so there is no completed prior year to compare against. As a result the page cannot present a percentage increase or decrease for the selected period. The headline total of 2,030 incidents therefore stands alone, reflecting activity from 7 January 2026 through 18 May 2026. Because the data stops at the end of May, it does not capture incidents that may occur later in the year, which could affect future comparisons.
Category breakdown
The most common category in Cobourg for the 2026 YTD period is Other, accounting for 1,830 incidents or 90.1 % of the total. Within the Other roll‑up, the leading subcategory is Traffic & MVC with 907 incidents, representing 49.6 % of Other and 44.7 % of all incidents. The next largest categories are Theft with 114 incidents (5.6 % of total) and Assault with 50 incidents (2.5 % of total). Smaller categories include Mischief (23 incidents, 1.1 %) and Break and enter (8 incidents, 0.4 %). The dominance of the Other category indicates that a large share of records are grouped under broader classifications, while property‑related offences such as theft and break‑and‑enter together make up less than ten percent of all incidents.
FAQ
How many incidents have been reported in Cobourg in 2026 so far?
Cobourg's open-data summary for 2026 (YTD, through May) shows 2,030 reported incidents. The available records run from January 7 to May 18, 2026. This total covers the latest calendar year on the full archive, not the interactive map's rolling window.
What is the most common category and what does 'Other' include?
Other is the top category with 1,830 incidents (90.1% of the total). Within that grouping, Traffic & MVC accounts for 907 incidents and Calls for service for 681. The Other bucket also includes 153 Bylaw & Provincial records, 47 Other crime, 19 Harassment, 14 Drugs, 6 Weapons offences and 3 Threats. Harassment and Threats are person offences, not physical assault.
How does 2026 compare with previous years in Cobourg?
A year-over-year comparison is not available for this period. The archive series on this page covers only 2026 YTD records through May, so there is no complete prior calendar year to compare against. The 2,030 incidents in the headline are therefore a partial-year total, not an annual figure.
Can I see neighbourhood-level breakdowns for Cobourg?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this open-data source. The published layer for Cobourg does not include neighbourhood assignments, so the page can't show top-neighbourhood counts or per-neighbourhood comparisons. The available counts remain at the city level.
Where does the Cobourg open-data come from?
The 2,030 incidents in this summary come from the official police/municipal open-data layer covering Cobourg, Ontario (ON). Category totals and event dates are drawn from the same public feed that powers the city's incident breakdown.
How current is the Cobourg incident data?
The current 2026 YTD summary runs through May, with records dated from January 7 to May 18, 2026. The interactive map's 60-day rolling window shows 639 incidents, but the headline 2,030 figure covers the full 2026 YTD archive rather than the map window.
