This page maps the October 25, 2026 reports by location and category for Alberta readers.
About this data
This page tracks reported crime in Medicine Hat, Alberta, for the Latest day (2026-10-25), which reflects the city's latest exact occurrence day of October 25, 2026. The open-data file records 3 incidents for that day, with Mischief accounting for 2 incidents and Other accounting for 1 incident. The daily extract spans October 25, 2026 to October 25, 2026.
Figures come from the official police / municipal open-data portal for Alberta, as compiled for CrimeMaps.ca. The daily view is useful for seeing the most recent reporting day before additional reports are added, since police may still add reports for October 25, 2026 and the count can rise. For context, the interactive map shows 517 incidents across the most recent 60 days, a broader rolling window than this single-day snapshot.
Recent trend
Year-over-year change is not available for the Latest day (2026-10-25) because there is no complete-year pair for comparison. The archive year series lists 566 incidents in 2025 and 2,630 incidents in 2026 on a full-archive calendar-year basis, while the year-series file lists 566 incidents in 2025 and 2,424 incidents in 2026. The 2026 year remains incomplete and the headline figure of 3 incidents covers only October 25, 2026, so neither 2026 count can be compared to 2025 as an annual change. A year-over-year percentage will require two complete calendar years.
Category breakdown
For October 25, 2026, Mischief was the most common category with 2 incidents, or 66.7% of the day's 3 incidents, followed by Other with 1 incident, or 33.3%. The two-category mix reflects a very small single-day sample, so one additional report would shift the shares. Within the broader Other grouping, Harassment is the leading full-archive slice with 350 incidents, or 51.6% of Other, followed by Threats with 225 incidents. Threats and Harassment under Other are open-data person offences demoted from coarse Assaults parents and are not physical assault. The remaining full-archive Other slices are Other crime with 89 incidents, Drugs with 7, Weapons offences with 4, and Impaired & dangerous driving with 3.
What this means
What stands out for Medicine Hat is how quiet October 25, 2026 was, with only 3 incidents: 2 for Mischief at 66.7% and 1 for Other at 33.3%. A single day cannot show a trend, and year-over-year change is not available for this daily snapshot. For context, the broader Other grouping in the full archive is dominated by Harassment with 350 incidents, or 51.6% of Other, and Threats with 225 incidents, both person offences rather than physical assault, while the interactive map holds 517 incidents for the recent 60 days.
FAQ
How many incidents were reported in Medicine Hat on the latest day?
Medicine Hat had 3 incidents on its latest reporting day, 2026-10-25. This is a single-day open-data count, not a 60-day total and not a yearly total. The dated open-data file holds 2,424 records spanning 2025 to 2026 for longer trends. Police may still add late reports for 2026-10-25, so that day's count can rise.
What was the most common type of incident that day?
Mischief was the most common type on 2026-10-25, with 2 of the 3 incidents, or 66.7% of that day's mix. The remaining record was listed as Other, with 1 incident, or 33.3%. For that latest day, the open-data mix is just those two categories. No violent-category incidents were included in the 2026 year-to-date tally used for the violent rollup.
Is crime going up or down in Medicine Hat year over year?
Year-over-year change is not available for this period. The multi-year file lists 566 incidents in 2025 and 2,424 incidents in 2026, but 2026 is still incomplete through 2026-10-25, so the two calendar tallies cannot be compared as full annual change. The full on-disk archive totals 3,196 incidents across 2025 to 2026, also without a complete-year comparison.
Which neighbourhoods in Medicine Hat had the most incidents?
Neighbourhood breakdowns are not available for this Medicine Hat source, so we cannot rank areas for 2026-10-25. The open file does not publish a neighbourhood field for its 3 latest-day incidents or for the longer 2,424-record dated file. Use the interactive map points for 2026-10-25 and the 517-incident 60-day map window to see where reports were plotted.
Where does this Medicine Hat data come from?
These counts come from the official police and municipal open-data portal in Alberta, not from unofficial reports. The file covers Medicine Hat and includes 3 incidents for 2026-10-25 within a dated file of 2,424 records from 2025 to 2026. Police calls that are not crimes are excluded from every count shown on this page.
How current is the Medicine Hat data?
The data is current through the latest reporting day of 2026-10-25, based on a file ingested on 2026-10-27. The headline 3 incidents describe that single day only, which may still be updated with late reports. For map context, the interactive 60-day rolling window holds 517 incidents, separate from the year-to-date and archive totals.
