Recent trend

The dataset reflects incidents reported between June 28 and August 16 2026, covering the year‑to‑date window that ends with the last fully completed month (July 2026). Because the data is compiled from the province’s open‑data portal, neighbourhood boundaries follow the classification used for that year and may be adjusted in future updates. Consequently, direct year‑over‑year comparisons should consider possible changes in how the Welland area is delineated. The YTD approach captures only incidents up to the most recent full month, so any events recorded after July are excluded from this snapshot.
