Ottawa Crime Map — Live OPS Incidents
In the last 24 hours CityAlert recorded 29 incident records near Ottawa — none occurred within the last day; the rest are older records arriving from delayed sources. Sources: Ottawa Police Service crime map (open GIS), Ottawa media incident log (Citizen, Sun, Global News, CityNews).
The Ottawa Police Service publishes a year-to-date crime map layer through the city's open GIS portal, broken down by offence category and neighbourhood. Because the official layer lands days after occurrence, CityAlert fills the gap with same-day incident reports geocoded from Ottawa media, alongside Ontario MNRF forest fires and Environment Canada alerts for the capital region.
