About this data
This public dataset details official open-data incident records for Oakville, Ontario, sourced directly from the Halton Regional Police Service. For the period of 2026 (YTD, through Jul), the dataset records a total of 6,632 incidents across the municipality. Because Oakville is a major municipality within Halton Region, these localized open-data metrics are split from the regional police layer to provide community-specific transparency.
Reviewing municipal open-data documentation provides a clear, structured view of documented police events across local neighbourhoods. While the interactive map highlights a rolling 60-day window containing 1,789 total incidents, the 2026 (YTD, through Jul) summary presents the broader record published through July 2026. This page organizes those official figures by category and location for factual community context.
Recent trend
A formal year-over-year change calculation is not available for the 2026 (YTD, through Jul) headline because 2026 remains an incomplete calendar year. In the open-data series, full-year 2025 recorded 7,046 total incidents, whereas 2026 currently counts 6,632 incidents through July. Because the 2026 data covers only part of the calendar year, comparing these YTD figures directly to a complete 12-month period would produce an inaccurate comparison. The multi-year archive spans from 2025 through 2026, and annual percentage comparisons require complete calendar year reporting periods.
