Fraud in Medicine Hat

This page covers Fraud in Medicine Hat, Alberta, using the city's published open-data crime feed. The selected reporting window is 2026 (YTD, through Jul), drawn from the full archive rather than the 60-day map window. In that window, the fraud category contains 327 reported incidents. The page focuses specifically on fraud, not on city-wide totals or the separate incidents shown on the rolling 60-day map tier.

Those 327 fraud records represent 2.8 percent of Medicine Hat's 11,660 city-wide incidents in the published dataset. Fraud is one of nine categories listed on the city page. The 2026 figure is a partial-year total through July, so it should be read alongside the 2025 series count rather than treated as a completed annual figure.

How Fraud compares

Fraud ranks third among Medicine Hat's nine published categories in the selected 2026 YTD window, with 327 records. The only categories with higher counts are Other (10,261) and Mischief (458). Fraud is greater than Assault (308), Break and enter (192), and Auto theft (60) in the same published data. These comparisons are based on category counts as provided in the open-data archive; they do not reflect the separate 60-day map tier.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Fraud is the third-largest category in Medicine Hat's open-data feed, with 327 records in the 2026 year-to-date window through July. That is above assault (308), break and enter (192), and auto theft (60). The published series shows 107 fraud records for 2025 and 327 for the 2026 partial-year window; the two periods are not directly comparable, because one is a full year and the other is year-to-date. The 2026 YTD total already exceeds the prior full-year figure, but no percentage change is calculated from the source data.
