16 March 20, Origin Staff Report This monthly activity report for the Community Bylaws Department provides information on Property Use, Grease, Soils, Parking and Animal Control. This report supports Council's Term Goal #1 A Safe Community: Analysis Property Use Maintain emphasis on community safety to ensure Richmond continues to be a safe community. Property Use Officers continue to respond to changing public demand with a focus on demolition permits, boulevard infractions, zoning and noise complaints. In addition, officers processed and closed all pending towing permit applications. Grease and Soils The Grease Officer remains diligent in inspecting food establishments while maintaining a focus on education and voluntary compliance. Inspection volume continues to increase due to a recent position upgrade from part-time to full-time status. The Soil Officer remains engaged in the investigation of files that require ongoing monitoring, inspection and liaison with various departments and external agencies. In particular, a stop-workorder has been issued for unauthorized fill activity along River Road. Parking and Animal Control Parking and Animal Control Officers remain proactive in patrolling for non-moving traffic violations and continue to place priority on safety and liability issues (fire hydrants, crosswalks, school zones). The number of violations issued during February declined due to numerous factors including, pay-parking zone closures due to road work, developments and enforcement impediments caused by extraordinary snowfall. Dog licencing season is off to a strong start with approximately 75 per cent of all licence renewals processed for Financial Impact The following information represents an analysis of Parking Program Revenue for February 2017, in comparison to the previous month as well as the same month last year CS - 16

17 March 20, Consolidated Revenue Monthly revenue from meter, permit and enforcement operations totalled $113,822 and year to date revenue totalled $273,183. This represents a decrease of29 per cent compared to the previous month and a decrease of 34 per cent compared to the same month last year. Meter Revenue Monthly revenue from meter operations totalled $51,205 and year-to-date revenue totalled $104,429. This represents a decrease of four per cent compared to the previous month and a decrease of seven per cent compared to the same month last year. Ongoing road improvement projects, such as Leslie Road combined with multiple developments within the city, continue to adversely affect the revenue for pay parking. Permit Revenue Monthly revenue from permit operations totalled $9,113 and year-to-date revenue totalled $40,606. This represents a decrease of71 per cent compared to the previous month and a decrease of 32 per cent compared to the same month last year. With temporary road closures due to development and road improvements, permit holders affected by these activities were issued refunds. The closure of the Lansdowne/Firbridge Way permit zone, due to development, incurred a loss of 50 on-street permits. It should be noted that the sale of permits typically occurs in the first two months of a new year; therefore, revenues are lower as the year progresses. Enforcement Revenue Monthly revenue from enforcement operations totalled $53,504 and year-to-date revenue totalled $128,113. This represents a decrease of28 per cent compared to the previous month and a decrease of 48 per cent compared to the same month last year. The emergent issue of short-term rentals and the direction to address this matter has resulted in the temporary re-deployment of Community Bylaws staff CS - 17

They are derived from RFR's record management system and are subject to change due to delays in reporting and confirmation of actual losses from private insurance agencies (as available). Fire crews minimized loss and limited fires to the place of origin in these notable February 2017 incidents: Fire at a residential property on Jones Road. Crews arrived on scene to find a very large number of evacuees standing outside and alarm bells ringing. On arrival crews found tea candles had been lit and left in an empty property with the smoke alarms covered. Crews confirmed that the fire was completely extinguished and proceed to vent the property of smoke. There were no injuries and no structural damage however; smoke damage did displace occupants for the night. A fire investigator was requested to attend the scene. Fire at a temple on Blundell Road. Arriving crews were directed upstairs to a burning table with candles underneath it. Crews extinguished the fire and removed the table to the outside of the building. Crews proceed to ventilate the area to clear the remaining smoke. Fire at a residential property on Garry Street. Crews responded to a fire with reports of smoke coming from a suite. On further investigation it was found that the smoke was from a pot on the stove. Crews proceeded to search for any occupants within the unit but found none. Ventilation equipment was used in the unit to clear smoke. Emergency Social Services (ESS), RCMP, a fire investigator and building manager were called to attend the scene CS - 25

26 March 17, Fire on a boat located at a marine dock at Trites Road. Arriving crews found a boat tied to a dock with smoke showing. On investigation, crews found an electrical fire on the boat. Dry chemical and cold fire extinguishers were used to extinguish the fire and ventilation was used to clear the smoke from the cabin. The Coast Guard and BC Ambulance Services were also dispatched to attend the incident. Fire on a boat located at a dock on Graybar Road. Arriving crews found a 50 foot boat with heavy smoke showing. On investigation crews found that the fire was contained to the interior of the vessel. Crews applied Cold Fire extinguisher and quickly extinguished the fire. A search of the vehicle was carried out, finding no occupants or pets. The vessel appeared not to be leaking any oil or gasoline into the river. Harbour Patrol and the Coast Guard crews also attended the scene to monitor the situation. RFR will provide public education via Facebook on the hazards of candles. The message will include the following information: Choose flameless candles and, when the power goes out, use flashlights. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room and before going to sleep. Be sure the wick ember is no longer glowing. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn. Ensure candles are in sturdy candle holders. Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets. Financial Impact None. Conclusion During February 2017, calls for service increased by 6.6 per cent from February RFR will continue to monitor these activities to identify trends and ensure potential solutions. The continued increase in RFR's emergency response has a direct impact on unit availability, response times, availability for non-emergency operations and in-service training.

As such, the RCMP Detachment requests Council's input into the development of the Detachment's Annual Performance Plan for the fiscal year (April1, 2017 to March 31, 2018). This report supports Council's Term Goal #1 A Safe Community: Background Maintain emphasis on community safety to ensure Richmond continues to be a safe community Policy and service models that reflect Richmond-specific needs Program and service en.hancements that improve community safety services in the City Improved perception of Richmond as a safe community. The Annual Performance Plan delivers planning and performance management to the Richmond Detachment and ensures policing i~itiatives are aligned with the City of Richmond and RCMP strategic priorities. The Annual Performance Plan allows the Detachment Commander to systematically plan, evaluate and manage police resources and operations. It also affords him a valuable consultation and reporting mechanism vis-a-vis the City of Richmond, the Commanding Officer of RCMP "E" Division and the Detachment staff. Planning Richmond Detachment consults with Council and City staff to identify opportunities for improved services in the local community. A well thought-out plan allows for policing objectives to be aligned to the unique needs of the City of Richmond, as well as the RCMP' s national, provincial and district initiatives that are implemented for the fiscal year. Measurements, targets and integrated risk assessments for the policing initiatives are also created to monitor performance and risk management. Quarterly Performance Review Every 90 days, Council is updated on the status of the Annual Performance Plan. The quarterly report highlights the progression of objectives and policing initiatives, as well as communicates whether planned activities are on-track. For activities that are not on-track, an assessment is conducted to determine whether alternative responses are required CS - 34

35 March 6, Annual Performance Plan System Features The Annual Performance Plan is designed to facilitate best management practices for Richmond Detachment administration and provides the foundation for the following strategic planning activities: Community, Contract, and Aboriginal Policing Services Community Plans; Risk Management; Unit Level Quality Assurance (ULQA); Performance Management; Public Safety; and Unit Performance Improvement Program. The five National RCMP strategic priorities include: Serious and Organized Crime; National Security; Youth; Economic Integrity; and Aboriginal Communities. The three British Columbia RCMP policing priorities 1 ( ) include: Public Safety; Accountability and good governance; and Modernization of police services. Analysis City of Richmond Community Priorities Community engagement is a salient component of Richmond Detachment's strategic and annual planning process. Richmond Detachment's Strategic Plan 2 is the culmination of ongoing dialogue with Richmond residents, Council and other community safety stakeholders. It also considers current and emerging policing challenges and opportunities. The Strategic Plan identifies five Richmond RCMP priorities: 1. Property Crime; 2. Road Safety; 3. Community Engagement; 4. Youth; and 5. Organized Crime. The Detachment's focus on these five strategic priorities advances its commitment to the City of Richmond's vision "to be the most appealing, livable and well-managed community in Canada". 1 BC RCMP Policing Priorities. 2 Endorsed, Community Safety Committee, December 9, CS - 35

36 March 6, IIi addition, it supports the RCMP' s mission to provide quality service in partnership with our communities and vision to promote safe communities 3. The 2015 Police Services Review Public Consultation 4 identified the following key priorities: Priority 1 - Response Times Priority 2 - Property Crime Priority 3 - Organized Crime and Gangs Priority 4 - Crime Prevention Priority 5 - Traffic Safety Priority 6 - Public Disorder and Vandalism Richmond Detachment is seeking Council's input in the development of the Annual Performance Plan priorities. For the previous year' s Annual Performance Plan (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017), Council selected the following three priorities: 1. Pedestrian Safety; 2. Property Crime: Break and Enters; Theft from Automobile; Mail Theft and 3. Mental Health. For the Annual Performance Plan, Richmond Detachment is recommending Council select one or two of the following community objectives: 1. Property Crime The Detachment successfully reduced property crimes in the areas of break and enters, theft from automobile and mail theft. By extrapolating the current third quarter results, the Detachment foresees that the targets that Council endorsed on March 29, 2016 will be met with the exception of commercial break and enter crime. The criteria for recording commercial break and enters is quite inclusive and includes theft of work tools, new developmental properties, construction sites and mail theft in strata buildings. As a result, the slight upward skew in commercial break and enters is deemed negligible. Theft from automobile and mail theft have been crimes that have caused concern across the lower mainland jurisdictions. These two crimes often lead to more sinister incidents such as identity theft, residential break and enters, garage break and enters, etc. Property crimes are crimes of opportunity. The culprits in these crimes rotate between their illegal activities. The Detachment will apply an inclusive focus on reducing overall property crime offences to target theft from automobile, theft of vehicle, mail theft and break and enters. Crossover crimes such as fraud and identity theft will also be targeted and affected as a result. Setting a target based on the most recent five year average will provide a more robust goal although it does not take into consideration other external factors such as population growth etc. 3 RCMP Mission.

The RCMP has nationally taken the step to work with the Chinese Public Security Ministry to try to halt the transpacific flow of fentanyl into Canada. The current drug crisis puts both drug users, first responders and the public at risk. In 2016, the BC Coroner's Service report indicated that Richmond experienced a 120% increase in illicit drug overdose deaths in comparison to 2015, as indicated in the chart below: 12 Illicit Drug Deaths in Richmond _._Illicit Drug Deaths in Richmond CS - 38

There is also a strong correlation between drug abuse, mental health and property crime. Many drug addicts commit property crimes in order to fund their addiction. When focusing on drug enforcement activities, the Detachment expects the crime statistics to rise as a result of increased arrests. For the fiscal year (April1, 2017 to March 31, 2018), the Richmond Detachment will focus on: 1. A five per cent increase in total drug offences from the last five year's average totals. The goal is to have more than 789 total drug offences. 11. Deliver DARE to every fifth grade class in the Richmond School District. 3. Vulnerable Persons Unit.(Mental Health, High Risk Missing Persons, Domestic Violence) Richmond Detachment continues to experience large numbers of mental health and vulnerable person related calls for service. These calls consume considerable Detachment resources due to their volume and lengthy resolution process. Detachment members must devote substantial time to finding both immediate short and long-term solutions for those who, as a result of a mental health and/or addiction related challenges, commit crimes and/or generate such calls for service. The Detachment has taken on a leadership role in enhancing the collaboration of support services by bringing stakeholders together to find viable solutions. The Detachment continues to meet every two months with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and attends monthly meetings with City of Richmond Staff, Richmond Fire-Rescue and Richmond Mental Health. These two collaborative working groups address vulnerable sector clients such as those with mental health and/or addiction issues, hoarders, homeless, those with dementia and other complex challenges. The Detachment continues to populate the Mental Health Referral database to track referrals made to the Detachment Vulnerable Person Unit. Additionally, the Detachment updates the CS - 39

40 March 6, Mental Health Profile database which develops profiles of high-risk mental health clients in order to analyse patterns, habits and best crisis de-escalation tactics at an individual level. In October 2016, the Detachment Vulnerable Person Unit commenced a pilot project called "wrap around" to support of the Detachment's crime reduction strategy. The project seeks to identify individuals who experience mental health, drug addiction and other related challenges that often trigger a disproportionate number of calls for service. Statistical analysis at the Detachment found that approximately two per cent of individuals are accountable for close to 15 per cent of Mental Health Act related incidents. The goal of the project is to provide individually focused community assistance and intervention programs to clients with the long term goal of stability and safety for the community.

A five per cent reduction in mental health related calls for service using fiscal as the baseline year 8. The goal is to remain below 1178 mental health incidents. n. A ten per cent reduction in mental health related high volume individuals. 9 The goal is be able to have at least six individuals removed from the list by March 31, Financial Impact None. 8 In May 2015, Lower Mainland District implemented a PRIME Mental Health Issues Study Flag Code. This triggered an increase in mental health calls for service data for the fiscal year (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 20 16). As a result, the fiscal year (April 1, 2016 to March 31, 20 17) was selected as a base line to track mental health related calls for service. 9 Offenders with four or more negative role codes in mental health related calls. 58 individuals were used as the baseline (February 8, 2017).

41 March 6, Conclusion Richmond Detachment requests Council select one or two of the following strategies as Community Priorities for inclusion in the Annual Performance Plan (April1, 2016 to March 31, 2017): 1. Property Crime; 2. Organized Crime- Drugs; and 3. Vulnerable Persons Unit. The targeted activities as described in the community priorities will encompass offender management, the development of community sources, officer visibility and crime reduction initiatives through community education, engagement and partnerships as well as intervention, prevention and intelligence-led policing. ~ -Yong Risk Management Unit-RCMP ( ) CS - 41
