About this data
TheCrimeMaps crime map for Mountain View, California, displays police-reported incidents published by the Mountain View Police Department, plotted by location and offense category. The current display covers January–September 2026, with 4,024 police-reported incidents recorded in those nine months. The source data through September 2026 remains partial for the year, so the map reflects year-to-date reporting rather than a complete calendar year.
Of that January–September 2026 total, 316 incidents, or 7.9%, were in violent categories covering assault, sexual assault, robbery, shooting and homicide. Theft accounted for 734 incidents, while theft from vehicle added 430, showing how property offenses shape the map.

Recent trend
The time series for Mountain View currently contains a single year: 2026 with 4,024 incidents across nine months of reporting. That 2026 entry is marked as not complete, with data through September 2026, so it cannot be compared to a full calendar year. The all-years archive total is also 4,024 incidents, spanning 2026 to 2026 with no undated incidents. With only this partial January–September 2026 window available, there is no second complete year to support an annual change calculation in the source data.

Is crime in Mountain View trending up or down?
No annual change can be reported from the current file because it contains only one year: 2026 with 4,024 incidents across 9 months, marked as not complete. With no second complete year to compare, there is no year-over-year percentage. Any comparison would need a second complete year or same-month coverage in another year, which is not present in this archive.
Which Mountain View neighborhoods had the most incidents in January–September 2026?
The January–September 2026 file does not rank any named neighborhoods for Mountain View, with a neighborhood count of 0. That means all 4,024 incidents are reported at the city level without a neighborhood breakdown in this release. The source did not provide separate neighborhood totals to compare for this period.

The figures for Mountain View come from the Mountain View Police Department, the upstream open-data source for this page. The January–September 2026 release includes 4,024 incidents, with Theft at 734 incidents, Theft from vehicle at 430 incidents and Vandalism at 295 incidents. Categories and counts reflect how that department classified and released the reports.

Data is current through September 2026, covering January–September 2026. That 9-month window includes 264 Assault incidents and 228 Burglary incidents, plus 316 violent-category incidents overall. Because 2026 is marked not complete, additional months would change the yearly total rather than revise the 4,024 already reported for this window.
