About this data
This page summarizes 3 incidents reported in Medicine Hat, Alberta on 2026-10-11, the latest occurrence day available from the official municipal open-data portal. The day-level view reflects exact occurrence dates published in the feed, with 2026-10-11 as both the start and end of the selected period. Police may still add reports for this recent day, so the count can rise.
The interactive map shows a broader 60 days window with 584 incidents, which provides context for recent activity while this headline remains the single-day count. Day-level counts help residents see what was recorded most recently in Medicine Hat without mixing in year-to-date totals. Full-archive records span 2025 to 2026, but the 3-incident headline applies only to 2026-10-11. Source attribution uses the provincial open-data feed for Alberta.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for Latest day (2026-10-11) because there is no complete-year pair to compare for this single-day headline. The multi-year archive series lists 566 records in 2025 and 2,424 records in 2026, while the full on-disk archive lists 566 records in 2025 and 2,522 records in 2026 across 2025 to 2026. The 2026 figures reflect an incomplete year through the latest ingest, so they cannot be treated as a full annual total alongside 2025. Year-trend figures therefore provide calendar context only, separate from the 3-incident count for 2026-10-11.
Category breakdown
The 3 incidents on 2026-10-11 split evenly across three categories. Assault accounted for 1 incident, or 33.3% of the day's total. Break and enter also accounted for 1 incident, or 33.3% of the total. Mischief accounted for 1 incident, or 33.3% of the total. With one record in each category, no single offence type dominated the latest day in Medicine Hat. This even three-way split means the day's mix shows person, property and mischief-related matters in equal number, rather than concentration in one category. For context, the full-archive Other breakdown, which is separate from this day's mix, is led by Harassment with 344 records, or 52.5% of Other.
What this means
What stands out is how small the 2026-10-11 count is at 3 incidents, with Assault, Break and enter and Mischief each contributing 1 incident and 33.3% of the day. No category dominated because the total divides evenly. Against the 584 incidents shown in the 60 days map window, the single-day figure is a narrow snapshot that can shift as reports are added. In the separate full-archive Other breakdown, Harassment leads with 344 records, or 52.5% of Other, followed by Threats with 213 records.
FAQ
How many incidents were recorded in Medicine Hat on the latest reported day?
Medicine Hat recorded 3 incidents on 2026-10-11, which is the latest reporting day in this feed. That total covers one calendar day only and is separate from the interactive map's recent 60-day window. Police may still add late reports for 11 October, so the day's count can rise after publication.
What type of incident was most common on that day?
No single category led on 2026-10-11: Assault, break and enter and mischief each recorded 1 incident, or 33.3% of the day's 3 incidents. With only three records, the mix can shift sharply from day to day, so a single-day tie does not show a longer pattern for Medicine Hat.
Are incidents in Medicine Hat going up or down compared with last year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period because the headline covers only 2026-10-11. For calendar context, the full archive lists 566 incidents in 2025 and 2,522 incidents in 2026. Because 2026 remains an incomplete reporting year, those two calendar counts should not be read as a completed annual increase or decrease.
Which neighbourhoods in Medicine Hat had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Medicine Hat source, so a neighbourhood ranking cannot be shown for 2026-10-11. That reflects how the feed is published, not that the day's 3 incidents lacked locations. Use the city-level breakdown instead, where assault, break and enter and mischief each recorded 1 incident on the latest day.
Where does this Medicine Hat data come from?
These counts come from the official police and municipal open-data portal serving Alberta, as compiled for Medicine Hat. The latest-day headline reflects 3 incidents on 2026-10-11, while the 3,088-record full archive reflects all published years together. The city covered is Medicine Hat, Alberta.
How current is the Medicine Hat data on this page?
The page is current through 2026-10-11, the latest reporting day with 3 incidents. That day-level headline is distinct from the interactive map's rolling 60-day window, which holds 584 incidents for broader recent context. The dated archive behind the trends holds 2,424 records, so the latest day sits within a larger multi-year file.
