2 On behalf of the members, staff and volunteers of the Burnaby RCMP Detachment, I am very pleased to present our Monthly Report for July 211. This report is a snapshot of the work of our Detachment team, in partnership with assorted stakeholders and the citizens of our community, to keep our city safe and secure. We have continued to move forward with the implementation of our Annual Performance Plan with the approved 211/212 priorities: The Detachment Annual Report which highlighted the great work undertaken this past year was presented to the Community Policing Committee and Mayor and Council. The report was well received with acknowledgement of the decreased crime trends and strong partnerships developed by the Detachment. All Detachment resources are actively engaged in the creation and subsequent work on various initiatives which will continue to ensure the approved priorities receive the necessary focus and attention. All personnel are well versed in the Crime Reduction Strategy and continue to focus on providing information and intelligence that identify causation factors, crime trends and prolific offenders. Through our bi-weekly COMPSTAT (Comparative Statistics) meetings all relevant and crucial information is shared, allowing for our strategic allocation of resources. Over this past month Burnaby Detachment personnel have had the opportunity through various community events to show our great support for the City of Burnaby. This has included our attendance at the July 1 st celebrations at Ron McLean Park and the Burnaby Village, Giro di Burnaby, Edmonds City Fair and Car Show and several other sporting and ethnic celebrations throughout the community. Our Detachment also hosted an appreciation Barbeque for our 85 Auxiliary Constables, all strong contributors to the volunteer sector. On July 18 th we all took the time to attend the going away of our Officer in Charge, Chief Superintendent Rick TAYLOR. The impact of his four years at Burnaby Detachment was strongly echoed through the various presentations among the large crowd. C/Supt. TAYLOR has left a strong legacy for his successor, Chief Superintendent Dave CRITCHLEY who will take up his new post at the beginning of August. Thank you for taking the time to review our Monthly Report, and we welcome your feedback. Further information about our Annual Performance Plan, Crime Reduction Strategy, programs and services, current events and our contact details can be found on our website at Derren Lench, Superintendent Acting Officer In Charge Burnaby RCMP Detachment Page 1

3 involves the commitment of the entire Detachment and our community partners to be effective. We meet twice monthly during our Compstat (Comparative Statistics) sessions to identify crime trends in our community and identify hotspots of activity. The heads of our units then make commitments to target this activity and identify those responsible. This is not just a police response. We engage Block Watch, Community Programs and every concerned citizen to report suspicious activity in an effort to reduce crime in our community. Our analysts track every type of crime committed, however we focus on several monitored crime types which have a direct impact on the majority of our community. These are mostly crimes which deal with property offences. The year to date numbers for July 211 continue to be lower when compared to 21. Comparing the month of July 211 with July 21, there was an increase in robbery reports from 18 to 29. In mid July 211, there was a spike of personal robberies involving groups of males who targeted cell phones. Burnaby RCMP combined several units to combat this problem, and several arrests have already been made, with more anticipated to come. The summertime trend of break and enters to detached garages and vacant homes or houses under construction has continued throughout July. Copper wire was targeted in vacant homes, and several suspects who use the same vehicle to transport the goods were identified. A new list of Burnaby RCMP Prolific Offenders was created at the beginning of July using the previous year s data. By the end of July, we arrested a number of our newly identified Prolific Offenders for breaching court imposed conditions as well as for committing new substantive offences Monitored Crime Types (Year to Date) 21 (Y TD) 211(Y TD) Jul -11 Jul B & E Busi ness B & E Resi dence Auto Theft Theft F rom Vehi cl e Robbery y Weapons s Charges 8 Enforcem ent Action 21 (YTD) 211(YTD) Jul -1 Jul Breach of Con dition s Street Check (x1) Mon itored Prolific Offen ders ( 32 Total) Condi ti ons Warrant 5 In Custody 16 No Condi ti ons Page 2
