This dataset of approximately 6,100 crime reports was compiled from incidents recorded in Oakville between May 2024 and May 2025. It reflects a broad spectrum of police activity, ranging from traffic enforcement to property and personal crimes.
The most common type of report is roadside testing, accounting for nearly a third of all incidents. This suggests a strong emphasis on impaired driving enforcement.
