2026 Calgary break-and-enter reports by community

This is a year-to-date view of reported incidents, not a list of “dangerous neighbourhoods.” Choose a category to compare communities. Citywide totals are exact; Calgary Police Service suppresses each community value below five, and this map keeps those values as <5 instead of guessing.

What stands out in Calgary's 2026 break-in data

1,321 citywide

Commercial

Highest reported counts: BELTLINE 58 · FOOTHILLS 39 · DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL CORE 37 · MANCHESTER INDUSTRIAL 32

581 citywide

Dwelling

Highest reported counts: BELTLINE 21 · BOWNESS 14 · FOREST LAWN 13 · SIGNAL HILL 13

482 citywide

Other premises

Highest reported counts: KILLARNEY / GLENGARRY 25 · SHAGANAPPI 15 · RENFREW 14 · RICHMOND 13

These are year-to-date reported counts—not predictions of risk for an individual property. Categories are kept separate because combining them would hide materially different property types.

What the map can tell you

It shows how reported commercial, dwelling, and other-premises break-and-enter incidents were distributed across Calgary communities in the 2026 data available on August 4, 2026. The rate column uses the dashboard's 2021 Statistics Canada population denominator, so raw counts are usually more useful for industrial districts and fast-growing communities without a comparable population figure.

What it cannot tell you

It does not predict whether a specific building will be targeted, measure unreported crime, or prove a security product will prevent entry. CPS notes that the dataset is cumulative and can change when late incidents are added; completed and attempted offences are included, with only the most serious violation counted. The “Residual Areas” bucket stays in the table but is not shaded because it has no community boundary.

How this relates to security film

Security film is one layer: it holds fractured glass together and may delay access when the film, glass, frame, and attachment method are specified as a system. It does not make glass unbreakable. Review the Calgary safety and security window film options alongside alarms, lighting, locks, cameras, and response planning.

From community context to a real opening

Review the glass—not just the map

A useful security-film scope depends on the pane, frame, accessible edges, door hardware, and the delay you want from the complete system. Send interior and exterior photos for a property-specific review without turning community counts into a fear pitch.

Responsible context

Questions about Calgary break-in data and security film

Does security window film prevent a break-in?

No. Security window film helps hold fractured glass together and may add delay when the film, glass, frame, and attachment method are specified as a system. It does not make glass unbreakable or guarantee that forced entry will be stopped.

Which Calgary community has the most break-and-enter reports in 2026?

There is no single answer because Calgary Police Service reports commercial, dwelling, and other-premises incidents separately. In the year-to-date data updated August 4, 2026, Beltline has the highest commercial count (58) and dwelling count (21); Killarney/Glengarry has the highest other-premises count (25).

Why does the Calgary break-in map show “<5” for some communities?

Calgary Police Service suppresses each community value below five. This page preserves that published suppression instead of converting it to zero or estimating a number.

Is this map a ranking of safe and dangerous Calgary neighbourhoods?

No. It is a year-to-date view of reported incidents. It does not measure unreported crime, predict risk at an individual property, or account for every difference in land use, population, building count, and exposure.

Security film selection guide

Security film delays and contains — it does not make glass unbreakable, and anchoring matters more than thickness. Here is the truthful version of the chart the industry usually softens.

Low protectionPartial or brief delayStronger containment or delay

Accidental impact (kids, patio doors, railings)

The everyday case — glass breaks, the film holds the shards in place instead of scattering them.

Bare glass: Dangerous shards
4 mil film: Contains shards
8 mil film: Contains shards
8 mil + anchoring: Contains shards
14 mil + anchoring: Contains shards

Opportunist smash-and-grab

Film can hold fractured glass together. Any added delay depends on the pane, frame, attachment, tools and persistence.

Bare glass: Fast opening
4 mil film: Shard retention
8 mil film: More containment
8 mil + anchoring: System retention
14 mil + anchoring: System retention

Determined forced entry with tools

No film makes an opening entry-proof. Attachment can help keep the fractured film-glass sheet connected to the frame.

Bare glass: Fast opening
4 mil film: Limited
8 mil film: Variable
8 mil + anchoring: Greater retention
14 mil + anchoring: Greater retention

Hail and wind-borne debris

Film keeps broken glass in the frame and out of the room — it does not make glass hail-proof.

Bare glass: Glass in the room
4 mil film: Contains shards
8 mil film: Contains shards
8 mil + anchoring: Contains shards
14 mil + anchoring: Contains shards

Blast pressure (institutional)

A specified, engineered system — film thickness, attachment and frame are designed together to GSA/ASTM levels.

Bare glass: Hazardous
4 mil film: Not rated
8 mil film: Component only
8 mil + anchoring: Engineered system
14 mil + anchoring: Engineered system

Scenario	Bare glass	4 mil film	8 mil film	8 mil + anchoring	14 mil + anchoring
Accidental impact (kids, patio doors, railings)The everyday case — glass breaks, the film holds the shards in place instead of scattering them.	Dangerous shards	Contains shards	Contains shards	Contains shards	Contains shards
Opportunist smash-and-grabFilm can hold fractured glass together. Any added delay depends on the pane, frame, attachment, tools and persistence.	Fast opening	Shard retention	More containment	System retention	System retention

Delay classes, not stopwatch promises — real outcomes vary with glass, tools and attacker persistence. Blast mitigation is an engineered system designed to GSA/ASTM criteria, never film alone.

Turning Community Data Into a Property-Specific Review

A community count can provide local context, but it cannot specify a security-film system. A useful review starts with the actual opening: glass type and size, frame condition, accessible edges, door hardware, after-hours exposure, and the response layers already in place.

Security window film is a thicker polyester film applied to glass to help hold broken pieces together after impact. The practical goal is glass containment and added delay—not making a window impossible to break.

What Changes a Security-Film Specification

Glass and frame condition. Film performance depends on the pane size, frame depth, existing glass condition, and edge detail.
Film thickness. Thicker films can support stronger glass containment, but they still need a compatible glass and frame system.
Attachment method. Some higher-risk storefronts may need an attachment-supported discussion so the filmed glass is connected more securely to the frame.
Access and exposure. Ground-floor glass, door hardware, public exposure, and after-hours work can change the installation plan.

What to Send for a Useful Scope Review

Send one photo from inside, one from outside, approximate pane dimensions, close-ups of the frame edges, and the opening you are most concerned about. Wall Style can then identify whether film-only or an attachment-supported system deserves review.

Security film can support alarms, cameras, lighting, locks, and response planning by holding fractured glass together and potentially adding delay. It is not a guarantee against forced entry, property damage, or injury.

Review Calgary safety and security film systems or send storefront or window photos for a scope review.
