About this data
This page summarizes the 2019 open-data incident record for St. Thomas, Ontario, using the latest complete calendar year from the full archive. The headline total is 817 records, and the figures below describe that selected year rather than the interactive map's rolling 60-day view, which is a separate snapshot showing 997 records in its current window. The counts come from the official police/municipal open-data layer for Ontario covering St. Thomas. Because the feed releases incident-level records, it lets residents and local researchers see how reported events break down by broad category.
The 2019 category mix matters for anyone reading St. Thomas open data: the Other label accounts for 85.1% of records, with smaller shares for Theft, Mischief, and Break and enter. Knowing how the source groups calls-for-service, traffic, bylaw, and person-related records helps explain why a single catch-all category can dominate. All figures in this narrative are tied to the 2019 selected-period extract.
Recent trend
St. Thomas's 2019 total of 817 incidents is the selected calendar-year figure from the full archive, not the 60-day map window. A year-over-year change is not available for 2019: the open-data feed does not publish a year-over-year metric for this selected period, even though the archive contains counts for 2018 (738) and 2019 (817). Because the headline is a complete year, no partial-year movement should be inferred from the 817 count, and the map window's separate total should not be read as an annual change.
Category breakdown
In the 2019 selected period, Other is the leading category in St. Thomas's open-data feed, with 695 records — 85.1% of the year's 817 incidents. Theft ranks second with 71 records (8.7%), and Mischief is third at 26 (3.2%). The remaining top rows are Break and enter (13, 1.6%), Assault (11, 1.3%), and Auto theft (1, 0.1%). The Other label covers a broad mix, and the source's full-archive breakdown shows Calls for service as its largest slice: 568 records, equal to 43.3% of Other and 36.5% of the full-archive total. That context matters because Other here also includes Harassment (7) and Weapons offences (3), person- and weapon-related records that sit inside a catch-all label rather than forming their own top category.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in St. Thomas in 2019?
The open‑data feed for St. Thomas records a total of 817 reported incidents for the full calendar year 2019, in the province of Ontario. This figure represents all categories combined and is based on the complete‑year archive rather than the 60‑day map window.
What is the most common crime category in St. Thomas for 2019 and what does the ‘Other’ category include?

What does the trend look like compared with the previous year?
A year‑over‑year change for the 2019 period is not provided. The archive shows 738 incidents in 2018 and 817 in 2019, but the dataset does not calculate a YoY percentage for this year. Therefore readers should interpret the raw counts without assuming a growth rate.
Why aren’t neighbourhood breakdowns shown for St. Thomas?
The St. Thomas dataset does not contain neighbourhood‑level incident data, so a breakdown by neighbourhood cannot be shown. Consequently the page lists no neighbourhood rankings for this city. Neighbourhood boundaries may differ across police reports, and the open‑data feed for St. Thomas does not publish those finer‑grained statistics.
Where does the data come from?
The incident figures come from Ontario’s official police open‑data portal, which publishes the yearly open‑data feed used for this page. The dataset aggregates reports submitted by the municipal police service for St. Thomas and reflects the complete calendar year 2019.
How current is the data shown on this page?
The most recent incident in the 2019 dataset occurred on 19 February 2019, and the selected period covers the entire calendar year 2019. The interactive map, however, shows a rolling 60‑day window with 997 incidents, which is separate from the year‑long totals reported here.
