About this data
This page presents open-data incident statistics for Montreal, Quebec, covering 2026 (YTD, through Jul). Published through the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) open-data feed, the dataset records 13,399 total incidents for this year-to-date period. While the interactive map displays a rolling 60-day window of 3,716 incidents for recent geographic tracking, these annual summary figures offer a broader view of documented police activity across 34 neighbourhood police districts.
Tracking these figures provides clear context on public safety trends and municipal incident distributions. Notably, Montreal's open-data map feed excludes assault and certain person-crimes. According to the official SPVM Bilan mensuel sur la criminalité, Montreal recorded 10,381 assault incidents during January–July 2026 (YTD). Combining open map records with official monthly reports delivers a complete understanding of reported offences across the city.
