About this data
This page details police-reported activity in Medicine Hat, Alberta, for the Latest day (2026-09-08). Published through official municipal open-data records in Alberta, the dataset logs 39 total incidents on this single occurrence day. Tracking daily municipal police disclosures provides residents, researchers, and community members with timely visibility into local police dispatch and reported occurrences across the city.
The 39 records logged for September 8, 2026, represent a single-day snapshot of municipal activity. While the interactive map displays a rolling 60 days tier comprising 3,844 total incidents, the primary statistics on this page focus specifically on the latest exact occurrence date. Reviewing day-level police data helps contextualise day-to-day law enforcement activity alongside broader multi-year archive trends.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for Latest day (2026-09-08) because the headline count represents a single occurrence date rather than a full annual comparison. Looking at broader historical records, the multi-year archive spans from 2025 through 2026, totaling 17,539 incidents. In the archive series, 2025 recorded 3,474 incidents, while 2026 recorded 14,065 incidents. Because 2026 remains an active, ongoing period without a complete comparative year pair, annual percentage changes cannot be calculated. These figures exclude undated records and reflect historical tracking rather than daily counts.
Category breakdown
For Latest day (2026-09-08), all 39 logged incidents fall under the single reported category of Other, accounting for 100% of the daily total.

Is there a year‑over‑year change in incident counts?
The archive provides multi‑year counts for Medicine Hat, with 3,474 incidents in 2025 and 13,695 incidents recorded through 2026 to date. However, the dataset does not include a year‑over‑year percentage change for the selected period, so a YoY change figure is not available.
Why aren't neighbourhood breakdowns shown?
The dataset for Medicine Hat does not contain neighbourhood‑level information; the neighbourhood count is zero and no top‑neighbourhood data is provided. Consequently, a breakdown by neighbourhood cannot be displayed for this source.
Where does this data come from?
The incident data are sourced from the Alberta (AB) official police open‑data portal, which provides the open‑data feed used for Medicine Hat’s crime‑mapping pages. The portal aggregates reports from the municipal law‑enforcement agency and publishes them for public use. The figures shown reflect the counts as reported by this official source and are updated whenever new incident records are ingested.
How current is the data compared to the interactive map?
