The figure below is the GTA-wide total for the most recent month with reported data, rolled up across every regional service. Use the regional breakdown underneath it to see where those reports are concentrated.
Pins mark intersection-level locations across Toronto — the largest single contributor to the GTA count. Precise addresses are never published by police or by Clear Guard.

Where the reports are concentrated.
Break-ins are not evenly distributed, and neither is reporting. Each regional service publishes on its own cadence, so the freshest month can differ slightly between regions. Select a region to see its own latest month, its trend versus the prior month, and the neighbourhoods reporting the most occurrences.

A count tells you what was reported — not how someone got in.
A monthly count tells you what was reported — not how an intruder actually got in. Most forced entries still rely on two physical weak points: glass that breaks cleanly and a door frame that gives under force. Neither shows up in a statistics table, and neither is addressed by an alarm that sounds after the glass is already broken. What changes the picture is delay — making the glass and the strike zone take more time, more noise, and more effort to defeat. No film and no door hardware can stop or guarantee anything; what they do is buy time.
That is the layer Clear Guard installs: security window film on the glass and door fortification at the strike zone. For the reasoning behind each, see whether security window film actually stops break-ins and why the front door is the most overlooked risk. For ongoing coverage of what's being reported near you, follow Local Watch.
A Clear Guard technician can walk your property and show you exactly where the glass and the strike zone are exposed. Assessments are free and take about 30 minutes.
Each month's written brief.
Each month we also publish a short written brief on that month's numbers, with a regional breakdown and plain-English context. The latest is summarised above; the full archive is below.
About this data.
Where do these break-in numbers come from?
They are aggregated directly from public police open data published by the five regional services that cover the GTA — Toronto, York, Peel, Halton, and Durham. Clear Guard does not estimate or adjust the figures. The "last updated" date on each section shows exactly when the data was last refreshed.
How current is this data?
The page recomputes every month as each police service publishes. Police feeds run on a multi-week lag, so the most recent calendar month is often still filling in — that is why the page shows the latest month that actually has reported data, with its date stamped on every figure.
Why do the regions show different "latest" months?
Each regional service publishes on its own schedule, so one region's freshest month can be a little ahead of or behind another's. The page always shows each region's own most recent month with data rather than forcing them all to the same date.
Do these counts mean that many homes were broken into?
Not exactly. The counts are reported break-and-enter occurrences, which include commercial premises and can carry more than one charge per file. They are a useful trend signal, not a precise count of burgled houses.
What actually reduces the risk of forced entry?
A statistics table can't tell you how an intruder got in — but most forced entries still rely on glass that breaks cleanly and a door frame that gives under force. Adding delay at those two points, with security window film and door fortification, buys time. No product can stop or guarantee anything; what it does is make entry slower, louder, and harder.
