Key stats

What these numbers mean

Medicine Hat’s 60-day snapshot is dominated by the 'Other' category, which accounts for 889 of the 1,011 incidents—an unusually high concentration. Violent incidents are relatively low, with only 28 assaults recorded. The absence of neighbourhood-level data limits deeper geographic analysis, but the overwhelming share of 'Other' incidents suggests many reported crimes fall outside standard categories. Without prior-year comparisons, it’s unclear whether this distribution is typical or a short-term pattern.
