About this data

This page summarizes 249 incidents recorded in Lethbridge, Alberta, during July 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts in the open-data feed. The count reflects that calendar month only, not a year-to-date total and not the interactive map's rolling window. All records come through the official police / municipal open-data portal for Alberta, with incidents mapped to Lethbridge neighbourhoods.

The broader category mix shown alongside the monthly total describes 2026 year-to-date activity through July, while the interactive map displays a separate 60-day rolling window with 1,754 incidents. Comparing the July 2026 monthly count with the year-to-date mix and the map window helps readers see short-term reporting alongside longer coverage without mixing the periods. Neighbourhood and category views let residents explore how July reports fit within the city's 60 mapped areas.

Recent trend

Year-over-year change is not available for the July 2026 headline because a valid comparison requires two complete calendar years. The archive holds 7,644 records for 2025 and 5,414 records for 2026 year-to-date through July, so 2026 remains a partial year and cannot be matched against the full 2025 total as an annual change. The 249-incident July 2026 figure therefore stands as a monthly snapshot within that incomplete year. Once the 2026 calendar year closes, a like-for-like annual comparison with 2025 will be possible.

Category breakdown

The 2026 year-to-date mix through July, shown for context beside the July 2026 monthly total of 249 incidents, is led by Other with 2,218 records accounting for 41%. Theft follows with 1,434 records at 26.5%, and Assault ranks third with 643 records at 11.9%. Mischief and Fraud round out the listed mix. Within the full-archive breakdown of Other, Other crime is the largest slice with 2,871 records, representing 57.5% of Other. Drugs account for 1,044 records within Other, while Threats, which are open-data person offences and not physical assault, account for 885 records.

Where incidents concentrate

Across Lethbridge's 60 neighbourhoods, Downtown recorded 921 incidents, followed by Senator Buchanan with 740 and Westminster with 486. Victoria Park with 292 and Varsity Village with 268 complete the top five. This ordering reflects where reports were mapped in the open feed, not per-capita risk, since neighbourhood populations and daytime activity differ. Readers can use the concentration to see which central and west-side areas account for more records in the current coverage, then drill into the map to view underlying incident types.

What this means

Lethbridge's July 2026 total of 249 incidents sits against a 2026 year-to-date mix where Other at 41% and Theft at 26.5% dominate, with Assault at 643 records. What stands out is what sits inside Other: Other crime at 2,871 records and Drugs at 1,044 records shape the feed more than Mischief at 520 or Break and enter at 251. Downtown at 921 and Senator Buchanan at 740 stand well ahead of Westminster at 486, concentrating reports in two areas.

FAQ

How many crime incidents were recorded in Lethbridge in July 2026?
Lethbridge recorded 249 incidents in July 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts. That month-only figure sits within 5,414 incidents recorded in 2026 year-to-date through July. These are open-data calendar totals, not the interactive map's separate 60-day rolling window. Counts reflect reported incidents and can be updated if police add late reports.

What is the most commonly reported crime category in Lethbridge?
In the 2026 year-to-date mix through July, Other leads with 2,218 incidents, or 41%, followed by Theft with 1,434 incidents. The full-archive breakdown of Other shows Other crime with 2,871 records, Drugs with 1,044, and Threats with 885. Threats are open-data person offences and are not physical assault, so they should not be read as unexplained residual crime.

Is crime going up or down in Lethbridge compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because 2026 is still incomplete through July. The archive records 7,644 incidents in 2025 and 5,414 incidents in 2026 year-to-date through July, but a partial year cannot be compared with a full calendar year as an annual change. A like-for-like full-year comparison will require the completed 2026 calendar total.

Which Lethbridge neighbourhoods have the highest incident counts?
Across 60 neighbourhoods, Downtown recorded 921 incidents, followed by Senator Buchanan with 740 and Westminster with 486. Victoria Park with 292 and Varsity Village with 268 rank next in the available breakdown. These are reported incident counts for the published archive period, not population-adjusted comparisons, and local reporting practices can affect neighbourhood totals.

Where does the Lethbridge crime data come from?
This page compiles Lethbridge incidents from the official police and municipal open-data portal for Alberta, covering 60 neighbourhoods and categories including Theft, Assault and Mischief. The July 2026 headline of 249 incidents and the 2026 year-to-date mix with 1,434 Theft records come from that open feed. Late reports can lead police to revise published counts.

How up to date is the Lethbridge data shown here?
The headline reflects July 2026, the last complete calendar month with published counts, within an archive spanning April 17, 2025 to July 12, 2026. The interactive map uses a separate 60-day rolling window with 1,754 incidents for recent display. Police may still add late reports for July 2026, so the monthly count of 249 can rise slightly.
