Publishing these open-data records provides residents, researchers, and local organizations with transparent visibility into documented police incidents across the municipality. While the main headline totals describe the 321 incidents recorded during 2026 (YTD, through Jul), the interactive map feed focuses on a smaller rolling window of 152 incidents over 60 days.

Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for 2026 (YTD, through Jul) because the dataset year series contains a single year, 2026, with 321 reported incidents. Without a complete prior-year comparison pair in the current open-data series, annual trend calculations cannot be made. The headline figure of 321 incidents represents the year-to-date period through July 2026 rather than a full twelve-month calendar total. Multi-year trend analysis for Stratford will become available as additional complete reporting years are published through the municipal open-data portal over time.
