The Ottawa Police Crime Map for August 27 to July 27, is available at https://data.ottawapolice.ca/pages/maps. Once inside, you have to agree to terms conditions, and then access WARD 2 with the date range you wish to see, and you can zoom in or out. Click on icons on the map to receive further information on the specific incident reported.
I stress that this only shows REPORTED CRIMES or INCIDENTS. I stress how critically important it is to report incidents to police. I see monthly incidents on BCA social media showing crimes or issues which should have been reported to the police, but the crime map shows me they were not reported. I must stress that the Ottawa Police deploy resources based on reported crime. They cannot act on crime issues if no one tells them. Please report crime at ottawapolice.ca/en/reports-and-services/file-a-report/ .
