Lethbridge crime 2026

Lethbridge recorded 1,763 police-reported incidents in 2026, the only year currently available in this dataset. This page presents a city-wide view of those records, broken down by offence category and ranked against other years in the series.

Because 2026 is the sole year published, no year-over-year comparison is possible. The figures reflect reported incidents, not convictions or per-capita measures, and should be read as a baseline for future releases rather than a trend.

Year-over-year

The 2026 dataset spans the full calendar year and represents Lethbridge's complete incident count in the current release. Theft leads all categories at 564 incidents, followed by Other at 538 and Assault at 332. Together, these three categories account for the majority of recorded activity. Mischief, break and enter, and fraud round out the top six, with counts of 164, 85, and 60 respectively. The 1,763-incident total establishes a benchmark for the city; additional years will be needed to assess whether these levels persist, rise, or fall.

Key stats

What these numbers mean

Theft and Other together dominate Lethbridge's 2026 data, comprising 1,102 of 1,763 incidents — a striking concentration in two broad categories. Assault's 332 incidents, while third-ranked, sits well below both. With only one year available, no trend claims are possible, but the category hierarchy itself is notable: property-related offences (theft, mischief, break and enter) outnumber violent crimes by a substantial margin. This profile may shift as more years are added.
