About this data
This page presents every police‑reported incident that occurred on Whitby's latest day of data, 27 August 2026. The information comes from the Durham Regional Police Service open‑data feed, which releases individual point locations for each recorded offence.
The six incidents captured for that day give a concise snapshot of the types of activity police responded to across Whitby. Comparing this headline total with the interactive 60‑day map window (which records 252 incidents) helps readers see how a single day fits within recent trends, and the daily update ensures the data reflect the most current police activity available.
Recent trend
A year‑over‑year change cannot be calculated for the latest‑day total of six incidents because it represents a single day rather than a full year. In the full‑archive record, calendar‑year 2025 experienced a dramatic rise to 692 incidents from just 8 in 2024, an 8550% increase, illustrating how incident volumes have surged in recent complete years.
Category breakdown
On 27 August 2026, Whitby reported three equally common offence types, each accounting for one‑third of the total. Assault incidents numbered two (33.3% of the day's total), as did incidents classified as Other (also two, 33.3%). The remaining two incidents were Theft from vehicle, again representing 33.3% of the day's count. While the Other category groups diverse calls, the archive shows that Traffic & MVC incidents dominate that roll‑up.
