Crime continues to fall in September in Windsor and Amherstburg

September saw another drop in crimes against people, while property crime remained relatively consistent, according to Windsor Police.

A drop in reported robberies, sexual violations, mischief, and harassment fueled a drop of 8.6 per cent last month in both the City of Windsor and the Town of Amherstburg.

There were 256 reported crimes against people in September, compared to 280 a year ago.

So far this year, there have been 2,174 crimes against people, down 6.9 per cent from the same period between January 1 and September 30 last year, when there were 2,336.

A slight increase in the number of reported thefts, frauds, and break-and-enters drove a slight increase in the number of reported crimes against property of 0.8 per cent.

There were 1,021 property crimes in Windsor and Amherstburg last month, compared to 1,013 in September 2025.

Property crimes are down 5.7 per cent so far this year. There have been 7,762 reported property crimes compared to 8,234 in the same period last year.
