Key stats

What these numbers mean

Medicine Hat's 60-day dataset is dominated by the 'Other' category, which accounts for 1,131 incidents—89% of the total. This high proportion suggests many incident types are grouped under this label, limiting granular insights. Assault and mischief follow, but their counts (33 and 52, respectively) are dwarfed by the 'Other' share. With only 2026 data available, no trends can be inferred, but the sheer volume of 'Other' incidents stands out as a defining feature of this snapshot.
