This page covers police-reported open data for Lethbridge, Alberta, for 2026 (YTD, through Jul). The headline total is 5,457 incidents from the city's open-data layer, drawn from the full on-disk archive rather than the interactive map's shorter rolling window. For contrast, the map's 60-day window contains 1,768 incidents over a more recent stretch. The 2026 YTD figures include 737 violent-category incidents; Assault alone is recorded at 643.
These counts come from official police-reported open-data records published through Lethbridge's municipal open-data portal in Alberta. They are useful for seeing what has been reported so far this year — which categories appear most often and where neighbourhood counts are highest. The archive also holds a full-year 2025 series of 7,702 incidents, so the current YTD snapshot can be read against that earlier full year only once 2026 is complete.
The open-data archive contains a full-calendar-year series for 2025, with 7,702 incidents, and a 2026 YTD series with 5,457 incidents through Jul. Because 2026 is still open, there is no complete calendar-year pair to compare, so a year-over-year change is not available for the selected period. The difference between the two rows reflects different time spans — a full year versus a year-to-date period — not a measured annual increase or decrease. A like-for-like annual comparison will only be possible once the 2026 calendar year is complete.
By category, the 2026 YTD through-Jul total is led by Other, with 2,261 incidents and 41.4% of the total. Theft is second at 1,434 incidents (26.3%), and Assault is third at 643 incidents (11.8%). Mischief follows at 520 (9.5%), Fraud at 254 (4.7%), and Break and enter at 251 (4.6%). Because Other is the top category, the full-archive subcategory breakdown is the useful lens: 'Other crime' is the largest slice at 2,871 incidents, 56.4% of Other and 21.8% of the full-archive total. Threats and harassment under Other are open-data person offences — separate from physical Assault — not residual or uncategorised records.
The neighbourhood breakdown for 2026 YTD puts Downtown first with 932 incidents, followed by Senator Buchanan at 744, Westminster at 487, Victoria Park at 295, and Varsity Village at 270. These are location-based incident counts from Lethbridge's 60-neighbourhood open-data layer, and they show where reported incidents are concentrated, not which areas are riskier per resident. The remaining top-eight list also includes Winston Churchill at 217, Upper Eastside at 204, and London Road at 160. Neighbourhood boundaries and reporting practices can affect how these counts compare.
The 2026 YTD profile for Lethbridge is led by Other at 2,261 incidents (41.4%), with Theft next at 1,434 (26.3%) and Assault third at 643 (11.8%). The full-archive Other breakdown shows 'Other crime' as the largest slice (2,871 incidents, 56.4% of Other), while Drugs (1,044) and Threats (885) also appear. Threats and harassment under Other are person offences, counted separately from physical Assault. Downtown's 932 records are the top neighbourhood count, ahead of Senator Buchanan's 744. These are year-to-date through-Jul totals, not a complete annual figure.
The open‑data feed shows 5,457 reported incidents for Lethbridge in the 2026 year‑to‑date period ending in July. These figures cover the full calendar year YTD window and do not include the separate 60‑day rolling map count.
The top‑ranked category is Other, with 2,261 incidents accounting for 41.4 % of the total. Other breaks down into several subcategories: Other crime (2,871 incidents, 56.4 % of Other), Drugs (1,044 incidents, 20.5 % of Other), Threats (885 incidents, 17.4 % of Other), Weapons offences (126 incidents, 2.5 % of Other), Calls for service (95 incidents, 1.9 % of Other) and Traffic & MVC (73 incidents, 1.4 % of Other).
In the prior full year, 2025, Lethbridge recorded 7,702 incidents. The 2026 year‑to‑date total is 5,457 incidents. Because the 2026 figure covers only a partial year, a year‑over‑year percentage change is not available for this period.
Neighbourhood incident counts are led by Downtown with 932 reports, followed by Senator Buchanan at 744, Westminster with 487, Victoria Park at 295, Varsity Village at 270, Winston Churchill at 217, Upper Eastside at 204 and London Road at 160 incidents.
The incident figures are drawn from the Alberta official police open‑data portal, which aggregates reports from the Lethbridge police jurisdiction and publishes them for public use. The dataset is regularly updated as new incident records become available.
The latest record in the dataset has a date of 12 July 2026, and the selected period represents 2026 year‑to‑date through July. For contrast, the interactive map’s rolling 60‑day window displays 1,768 incidents, but the headline totals reflect the full YTD archive.
