Updated Data year 2025Source: Statistics Canada, police-reported crimeFrançais
Crime in Stratford is lower than the Canadian average.
By police-reported crime, Stratford's crime rate is lower than the Canadian average. In 2025, police reported 4,722 Criminal Code incidents per 100,000 people, −15.5% compared with Canada (5,585) and −14.0% compared with Prince Edward Island (5,492).
With fewer than 1,000 incidents a year, this police service is not ranked: rates of small places can swing a lot from one year to the next.
A city-wide rate is not a safety rating. It counts crimes reported to police, mostly theft and mischief, divided by residents, and risk depends far more on the neighbourhood and the situation.
