The dataset captures nearly 293,000 police-reported occurrences across Edmonton over about 18 months. It spans a wide spectrum of activity: property offenses dominate, supported by disorder calls, personal violence, traffic, and drug and weapons-related cases. The volume reflects both proactive enforcement and community reporting.

Property-related incidents are the biggest share, with theft under $5,000 alone making up about 90,000 reports. Other frequent issues include assault (23,000), mischief to property (22,800), and motor vehicle theft (18,000). Residential and commercial break-ins together exceed 22,000 cases. Fraud, impaired driving, and weapons complaints each add thousands more, while drug violations and disputes appear less frequently but remain notable.

Activity clusters around well-traveled corridors. Intersections like Airport Rd & Kingsway, 178 St & 89 Ave, and 137 Ave & 137 Ave show the highest volumes, each exceeding 2,000 reports. These locations likely reflect busy commercial or traffic-heavy areas with higher exposure.

Monthly patterns are relatively stable, averaging between 5,000 and 7,500 reports. Peaks occur in June and July 2025, while dips are seen in February 2024 and August 2025. The consistency suggests steady enforcement and reporting rather than strong seasonal swings.
