What these numbers mean

Mischief incidents make up a significant portion of reported incidents in RCMP K-Division (AB), accounting for over a quarter of all incidents. This category is the second most common, trailing only theft. The data covers a two-month period in 2026, providing a snapshot of mischief activity during this time. While the numbers are notable, they reflect only reported incidents, and the actual occurrence of mischief may be higher due to under-reporting.

About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Category includes a range: A single category groups incidents of varying severity (e.g. "assault" spans minor altercations through serious assault). The count alone does not indicate severity.
