Other in Medicine Hat

This page covers Medicine Hat's Other category, which is the broad open-data grouping for incidents that fall outside categories such as Mischief, Fraud, Assault, Break and enter, and Auto theft. The selected headline figure is 10,261 incidents in 2026 year-to-date through July, based on the full archive rather than the 60-day map window. Other accounts for 88% of the city's 11,660 total incidents for the same period — the largest of Medicine Hat's nine categories.

Across the full archive, Other is not an unexplained residual bucket. Its largest listed subcategory is Calls for service at 6,979, representing 50.1% of Other, followed by Bylaw & Provincial at 5,571 (40%) and Traffic & MVC at 867 (6.2%). Harassment (273) and threats (168) also appear under Other; these are open-data person offences demoted from broader assault/person parents, not physical assault records.

How Other compares

Among the nine categories in Medicine Hat's open-data comparison, Other ranks first: its 10,261 count accounts for 88% of the city's 11,660 incidents. The sibling categories shown alongside it are smaller by comparison — Mischief at 458, Fraud at 327, Assault at 308, Break and enter at 192, and Auto theft at 60. This ranking is driven in large part by the volume of calls for service and bylaw records within Other across the full archive, not by a single class of incident.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

The defining feature of Medicine Hat's Other category is its scale: 10,261 incidents in 2026 YTD, or 88% of the city total. That makes it the largest category in the open-data feed. The full-archive breakdown shows calls for service and Bylaw & Provincial records account for most of the volume, with Traffic & MVC a smaller but still notable share. Harassment (273) and threats (168) are person offences folded into Other, not physical assault. The 2026 YTD total already exceeds the 2025 count of 3,021, though the partial window means the numbers are not directly comparable.

About this dataset

Frequently asked questions about Other in Medicine Hat

What is included in Medicine Hat's Other category?

Other is the open-data grouping for incidents not captured by categories like Mischief, Fraud, Assault, Break and enter, or Auto theft. Across the full archive, Calls for service is the largest subcategory at 6,979, followed by Bylaw & Provincial at 5,571 and Traffic & MVC at 867. Harassment and threats also fall under Other, but they are person offences demoted from broader assault/person parents, not physical assault.

How large is Other compared with the rest of Medicine Hat's incidents?

In the 2026 year-to-date period, Other has 10,261 incidents, which is 88% of Medicine Hat's 11,660 city-wide total. That places Other first among the city's nine categories. The sibling categories are smaller: Mischief has 458, Fraud 327, Assault 308, Break and enter 192, and Auto theft 60.

Does the 2026 Other count represent a full year?

No. The 2026 figure of 10,261 is year-to-date through July, not a full calendar year. The same archive shows 3,021 Other incidents for 2025. Because 2026 is a partial window, comparing the two directly as an annual change would be misleading; the data simply reflects how much has been recorded so far.

Why do threats and harassment appear under Other?

In Medicine Hat's open data, threats (168) and harassment (273) are listed under Other because they were demoted from broader assault/person incident parents. They are person offences, but they are not physical assault and should not be read as unexplained residual crime. Their counts come from the full-archive Other breakdown.
