Updated Data year 2025Source: Statistics Canada, police-reported crimeFrançais
Statistics Canada publishes crime figures by police service. No police service reports under the name of Dover: its crimes are counted with a larger area, such as a regional or provincial police detachment. We don't repeat that area's figures here, because they are not Dover's own.

Dover is a small incorporated fishing and lumbering village located in a small cove at the head of Freshwater Bay, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland, Canada. Settled in the early 1890s it was originally known as Shoal Bay, presumably from its many shallow coves and inlets in the area. From the 1950s to the 1970 Shoal Bay was referred to as Wellington , whereas the local residents called it Dover.
