This page reports the number of sexual assault incidents recorded in Lethbridge, Alberta, during the reporting window from May 13 to July 12, 2026. The dataset captures 20 reported incidents for this category, representing 1.1 per cent of the city’s total 1,763 recorded incidents across all seven offence types. These figures reflect police-reported data and do not account for unreported cases.
The counts are drawn directly from the selected time frame and include all records with a usable occurrence year. Because sexual assault reporting is known to be significantly affected by under-reporting, these figures should be understood as a baseline of documented incidents rather than a complete measure of prevalence. The data provides a clear snapshot of how this specific offence type aligns with broader crime patterns in the city.
Sexual assault ranks seventh among Lethbridge’s seven tracked offence categories, placing it at the lower end of the frequency spectrum for the city. With 20 recorded incidents, it trails significantly behind the most common categories: theft (564 incidents), other offences (538), and assault (332). Mischief (164) and break and enter (85) also recorded higher totals during the same period. The relatively low count reflects both the nature of the offence and the broader distribution of reported incidents across Lethbridge’s crime categories.
Sexual assault represents a small fraction of Lethbridge’s overall incident profile, accounting for just 1.1 per cent of the city’s 1,763 recorded offences. Ranking seventh among seven categories, it sits well below property-focused offences like theft and break and enter, as well as general assault. The 2026 series shows a single-year total of 20 incidents, with no year-over-year comparison available. Given that sexual assault counts typically reflect reported incidents only and face significant under-reporting, these figures serve as a documented baseline rather than a comprehensive measure of community safety.
