Tracking daily incident publications provides residents, researchers, and community members with timely visibility into local police-recorded property events. While the interactive map displays a rolling 60-day window containing 196 total incidents, this report focuses specifically on the 1 incident logged on the latest recorded occurrence day of August 25, 2026. Reviewing single-day records alongside broader rolling tiers helps establish a clear, factual snapshot of open-data reporting activity across Yellowknife.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for Latest day (2026-08-25) because the year series contains records only for 2026 without a prior complete-year comparison period. The single-day headline count of 1 incident represents the latest individual occurrence date rather than an annual metric. In the broader 2026 dated series, Yellowknife accounts for 371 dated incidents. Additionally, the full on-disk archive records a combined total of 450 incidents for 2026 across all archived entries. Multi-year percentage shifts cannot be calculated until an additional full calendar year of data is catalogued in the open repository.
