Key stats

What these numbers mean

The 2025 Medicine Hat record is defined by its Other category: 3,021 of 3,474 incidents, with Calls for service (1,581) and Bylaw & Provincial (1,046) as the largest components. Mischief (167), Fraud (107), Assault (69) and Break and enter (69) are much smaller named categories. 2025 is the lower-count year in the two-year archive, representing 22.5% of the city-wide total. The notable pattern is how much of the year's data sits in service and bylaw calls rather than in the smaller named categories.
