Peel Region and Halton Region publish no incident-level open data feed, so they are not in this table — the map covers them through police news releases, local news and community reports instead.
What counts as break & enter
In Toronto it is the police category “Break and Enter”; in Durham, “Break & Enter”. York Regional Police publish it as three sub-categories — Residential, Commercial and Other — which are combined into the York figure on this page. It covers unlawful entry into homes, businesses and other premises, whether or not anything was taken.
How the map shows it
On the live map, break & enter reports carry the green Break & Enter marker and its own filter chip — the button above opens the map with every other type switched off, so you see only this type. Zoom into a city or drop a pin with “Near me” and the panel counts only what is inside your ring and your date range.
