This page covers Mischief records in Medicine Hat's open-data crime archive. For the latest calendar year on file, 2026 year-to-date through July, the category total is 458 reported Mischief incidents. That figure is based on the full archive, not the 60-day rolling map window. Mischief accounts for 3.9% of the 11,660 incidents in the city-wide dataset, and it is the second-largest of the nine published categories.
The city's published feed groups incidents by category, and this page focuses on Mischief alone. Because the 2026 number is a year-to-date total through the last complete month, it is not a full-year count and should not be read as a 60-day snapshot. The multi-year series for this category shows 167 Mischief records in 2025, although the partial-year basis means the two figures are not a like-for-like annual comparison.
Mischief ranks second among the nine published categories in Medicine Hat, with 458 incidents in the 2026 YTD period. The only larger category in the feed is Other, at 10,261 incidents. Mischief sits ahead of Fraud (327), Assault (308), Break and enter (192), and Auto theft (60). Its 3.9% share of the 11,660 city-wide incidents places it behind Other, which is the top category in the published archive. These comparisons use the same open-data period and category definitions for each classification.
