About this data
This page covers police-reported open data for Lethbridge, Alberta, for 2026 (YTD, through Jul). The headline total is 5,457 incidents from the city's open-data layer, drawn from the full on-disk archive rather than the interactive map's shorter rolling window. For contrast, the map's 60-day window contains 1,768 incidents over a more recent stretch. The 2026 YTD figures include 737 violent-category incidents; Assault alone is recorded at 643.
These counts come from official police-reported open-data records published through Lethbridge's municipal open-data portal in Alberta. They are useful for seeing what has been reported so far this year — which categories appear most often and where neighbourhood counts are highest. The archive also holds a full-year 2025 series of 7,702 incidents, so the current YTD snapshot can be read against that earlier full year only once 2026 is complete.
Recent trend
The open-data archive contains a full-calendar-year series for 2025, with 7,702 incidents, and a 2026 YTD series with 5,457 incidents through Jul. Because 2026 is still open, there is no complete calendar-year pair to compare, so a year-over-year change is not available for the selected period. The difference between the two rows reflects different time spans — a full year versus a year-to-date period — not a measured annual increase or decrease. A like-for-like annual comparison will only be possible once the 2026 calendar year is complete.
Category breakdown
By category, the 2026 YTD through-Jul total is led by Other, with 2,261 incidents and 41.4% of the total. Theft is second at 1,434 incidents (26.3%), and Assault is third at 643 incidents (11.8%). Mischief follows at 520 (9.5%), Fraud at 254 (4.7%), and Break and enter at 251 (4.6%). Because Other is the top category, the full-archive subcategory breakdown is the useful lens: 'Other crime' is the largest slice at 2,871 incidents, 56.4% of Other and 21.8% of the full-archive total. Threats and harassment under Other are open-data person offences — separate from physical Assault — not residual or uncategorised records.
