INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

TO: CHAIR AND MEMBERS COMMUNITY POLICING COMMITTEE

FROM: DEPUTY CITY MANAGER

SUBJECT: FRANCES STREET, HOLDOM TO FELL STREET LIGHTING

DATE: 2014 June 26

At the 2014 May 22 Community Policing Committee meeting, the Committee enquired about the status of an earlier request for street light improvement on Frances Street between Holdom and Fell Avenues. This memo is to provide an update to the Committee on the request.

Frances Street between Holdom and Fell is constructed to an interim (2-lane) standard of which a short section near mid-block is complete with curb and street lights. It is recognized that the remaining length of this block of Frances is unimproved and will only be upgraded with curb, sidewalks and street lights when a Local Area Services Program (LASP) is initiated and endorsed by abutting residents.

In the absence of a permanent improvement plan for Frances Street between Holdom and Fell, staff support the installation of interim street light between Holdom and the westernmost light at mid-block Frances. A request has been forwarded to BC Hydro for the interim light installation.

FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FILE: 2410-20 Reference: CPC

SUBJECT: TERMS OF REFERENCE REVIEW COMMUNITY POLICING ADVISORY COMMITTEE

At the Community Policing Committee meeting held on 2014 May 22, a copy of the Terms of Reference for Burnaby Community Policing Advisory Committees (CPAC) was distributed with a request that the Committee review the document to identify any areas requiring improvement or updating.

As a result of the ensuing discussion, the following suggestions were put forward:

• incorporate wording which promotes enhanced communications, i.e. include the introduction of media releases;

• encourage the Chairs of all four CP ACs to identify areas requiring improvement and suggested solutions;

• look at providing more opportunities for public' engagement - encourage citizens to volunteer;

• how can the Committee improve communications for major public events, i.e. social media;

• review, with the purpose of improving, CPAC composition - some CPACs are not as representative in terms of categorization. It was suggested that consideration be given to not having a cap on representations on CP ACs but ensuring that there is a minimum;

• address the need to ensure membership continuity on CP ACs, i.e. maintaining RCMP representation;

• if CP AC composition is restructured, CP ACs will require alternate meeting space to accommodate increased numbers. There is a need to be practical; and

• when looking at composition, particularly the executive of each CPAC, there must be a system of ensuring a quorum for each meeting.

District 1-Hastings Brentwood Monthly Report For the July 3, 2014 meeting

Community Policing Committee, City of Burnaby

District 1 Report from the May 22, 2014 CPAC meeting

• District 1 looks forward to welcoming Corporal Brad Gibson to District 1.

• From the RCPM report, CPAC members learned that business break and enters in the District are at 4 for the last reporting period and the historic range has been between 2 to 8 business break-ins. Similarly, there have been 5 residential break-ins reported and the historic range has been 2-10 in the period. Thefts from auto at 13 reports is below historic averages.

• The RCMP reminded merchants and residents to call either 911 if urgent or the non-emergency number 604-294-7922 if not urgent rather than calling the Community Police Office. The CPO may not always be staffed and calling the main detachment/911 will get the necessary action faster.

• The next District 1 CPAC meeting is Thursday September 25,2014 at 9AM. District 1 CPAC is recessed for July and August.

Respectfully submitted Tony Wong, Chair, Dl CPAC May 22,2014

District 2 CPAC Overview for May & June 2014 Youth CPAC members representing Burnaby Mountain and Burnaby North Secondary are active within

their schools collecting, soliciting student concerns and objections.

One youth member who has been diligently representing Burnaby North Secondary over the past few

years is graduating, and that member has decided to continue volunteering with CPAC, and will

represent her community of residence. The newly vacated CPAC volunteer position for Burnaby North

Secondary has been filled with a replacement youth who has attended a number of CPAC meetings and

has been receiving support from CPAC members, RCMP and Transit Police.

Business along North Road have been commenting to CPAC volunteers their concerns of property crime

(shoplifting) and undesirable people in the area. Business are not relaying their concerns and

observations to the RCMP.

CPAC Volunteers, City Staff and RCMP have been engaged to better the community

• Moved bus bench to new bus stop location; this has lead undesirable people from loitering at

the entrances of certain business.

• Removed thehomelessness camp located under highway 1 on North Road (as this was

ultimately on the Ministry of Transportation's land, they were the ones who finally dismantled

the site, but it was done cooperatively and with considerable input from the above groups)

• In progress of developing an education awareness plan for business to report property crime,

graffiti and other concerns & observations to the RCMP then CPAC volunteers. One CPAC member, the North Road BIA, is preparing a postcard sized piece to distribute to the

membership which will emphasize the importance of reporting crime.

• In progress of developing an understanding with business as to the importance of adopting

CPTED principals with regard to store product placement and positioning. The North Road BIA

regularly promotes this aspect of crime prevention to their members in their newsletters and

emails, but it is anticipated that a specialized piece delivered by a Korean speaking person might

generate better results.

Strata's and residents at UniverCity have made comments regarding property crime and the occasional

suspicious people in the area. However residents and strata's are not reporting concerns and

observations to the RCMP.

• CPAC Volunteers with the help of UniverCity business and Burnaby Mountain Residence

Association will work towards adapting the North Road BIA's education awareness plan to

report property crime for the community.

Transit Police presented & distributed material regarding Transit Police new OnDuty program. The Transit Police CPAC member is highly engaged with RCMP and community members.

District two CPAC volunteers are engaged with their communities via events they host or events they

participate in. CPAC volunteers who represent business have support from their employers and are

pillars in corporate citizenship.

District two has had a small attrition of CPAC & CPO volunteers.

RCMP reported that three vacant positions have been filled.

On behalf of the members, staff and volunteers of the Burnaby RCMP Detachment, I am very pleased to present our Monthly Report for May and June 2014. This report is a snapshot of the work undertaken by our Detachment team, in partnership with numerous 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 2014/2015 priorities: Property Crime

Mental HealthYouthViolent CrimeRoad Safety

Thank you for taking the time to review our Monthly Report. We welcome your feedback. For further information about our Annual Performance Plan, Crime Reduction Strategy, programs and services, current events and our contact details, please visit our website at burnaby.rcmp.ca.

D.T. (Dave) Critchley, Chief SuperintendentOfficer in ChargeBurnaby RCMP Detachment

The recent tragedy in Moncton which claimed the lives of RCMP members Cst. Dave Ross, Cst. Fabrice Gevaudan and Cst. Douglas Larche, is a vivid reminder of the senseless violence that can occur in any community with little or no warning. Although heartbreaking events such as these take only moments to unfold, the cascading grief and sorrow remains for generations to come. Lives are immediately ended while others are forever altered. Words alone cannot even begin to accurately describe the pain and anguish the victim’s families are going through.

Our community like many others across the country, rallied in unified support of the families, the City of Moncton and the RCMP. In the days following the tragedy, our detachment set up a memorial in the front lobby. Included in the memorial was a Book of Condolences for members,

staff and volunteers from the detachment as well as citizens of Burnaby to sign and provide their condolences. The book was donated by Ocean View Funeral Home in Burnaby and will be forwarded to Moncton Detachment to share with the families of the fallen members. Many people within our detachment and community wrote in the book providing touching comments of support and prayers for the family members and the community of Moncton.

Policing is a noble profession and relies heavily on support and participation from those we serve. I stand in pride with all my policing colleagues as we express our deepest gratitude to our communities for the support we have received during these dark days.

These three young men gave the ultimate sacrifice for their community and I am dedicating my monthly message to them. They gave their lives protecting what we cherish and hold onto so tightly, peace and freedom.

They will never be forgotten.

involves the commitment of the entire Detachment and our community partners to be effective. Our team meets bi-weekly during our Compstat (Comparative Statistics) sessions to identify crime trends in our community and identify “hotspots” of activity. On behalf of their members and staff, our team leaders make commitments to target this activity and identify those responsible. This is not solely a police response. We engage Block Watch and Community Programs 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.

Robberies remain lower than last year, both during this period and year-to-date. Business robberies are higher than last year, but well within the average of the past three years. Approximately 70% of incidents occurred in District 4. Notably, a Burnaby resident was arrested in May for committing nine robberies at small businesses and gas stations.

Compared to last year, personal robberies have gone down more than 30%. There has been an increase in personal robberies around Skytrain stations since the beginning of May, mostly at Metrotown and Edmonds Stations. Six suspects have been arrested and more identified. All these offenders belong to a loosely connected youth group. This group, almost all residing in Surrey, was responsible for a rash of robberies along the Skytrain Expo Line last July and August. Burnaby and Surrey RCMP, as well as Transit Police, are taking the same approach as last year by working together to effectively deal with this group.

Break and Enters (B&E’s) in total have remained lower than last year. Business B&E’s have dropped nearly 20% this year. The decrease shows in all Districts except D1. There have been significantly fewer incidents of B&E’s targeting apartment common areas. Residential B&E’s remains higher than last year. District 2, in particular, has seen a significant increase over the previous two years. Several offenders were arrested for B&E over this period, including a very active offender who used a stolen vehicle in a string of six B&E’s in May.

Auto theft has remained unusually high since the beginning of the year, after a double digit decrease each year continuously for more than a decade. Year-to-date, the number of auto thefts is twice as high over last year in all Districts. This pattern is being closely monitored. Of note, Forensic Identification Service recently made numerous positive identifications via fingerprints, which has led to arrests. Bait car deployments have also resulted in several arrests.

Thefts from vehicles have seen monthly and yearly fluctuations. Recently there have been increased activities in District 1 and District 4. Prolific Offender Suppression Team and the Community Response Team are focusing on auto crime hot spots and active offenders.

members respond on average to over 170 calls for service per day. Many of these require extensive investigation over a long period of time. Major investigations often require detailed witness interviews, development of grounds for search warrants, undercover operations and lengthy court preparation. As such, major files are turned over to our plainclothes units, usually after first response by General Duty. The following major investigations are a snapshot of the work of these units.Burnaby Strike Force identified a male suspect responsible for multiple “break out” of Bay and Sears stores throughout the Lower Mainland. The male suspect would stay in the store after hours and break out. On April 25 Burnaby RCMP received a report of a suspicious male lurking inside the Bay store at Lougheed Mall. Security at the Mall believed the male was the same that had previously broken out of multiple Bay and Sears store since January 2014 resulting in the loss of $100,000.00 worth of merchandise in the Lower Mainland. Burnaby Strike Force responded to the area and conducted surveillance with Mall security. The male stayed in the store after closing and was observed on camera picking up two suitcases and walking to the perfume and cologne department where he filled the suitcases with $18,000.00 worth of fragrances. When the male walked out of the Bay, he was arrested by Burnaby Strike Force.

On April 26th, a search warrant was executed at the suspect's residence where numerous items of clothing and perfume boxes from different break out’s were seized. The suspect is charged with multiple counts of B&E and is pending trial.

Following a three month investigation Drug Section with the assistance of Prolific Offender Suppression Team, Criminal Intelligence Section, School Liaison and Investigational Support Team executed three search warrants at three Burnaby residences all associated to a South Burnaby "Dial a Dope" line.

Search Warrants were executed at residences located in the 7000 block 14th Avenue, 7000 block 21stAvenue and in the 7000 block Rosewood Street.

Six males were arrested and as a result of the search warrants, police seized numerous quantities of drugs and paraphernalia including cocaine powder, crack cocaine, heroin, marihuana, cash, drug packaging material and scales. Several weapons including an AK47 magazine, Gloc 40 calibre magazine and a bullet proof vest were also seized. Charges of Trafficking in Cocaine and Heroin and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking in Cocaine, Heroin and Marihuana against all six are pending. The investigation is on-going.

On May 30 protesters demonstrated at the Chevron refinery in North Burnaby. Three of the protesters locked themselves to the entrance gate of the refinery which interrupted the refinery's operation. The Investigational Support Team (IST) took command of the scene, overseeing members from General Duty, the Community Response Team, Crisis Negotiation Team, and the Lower Mainland Tactical Troop. A court order was issued which required the protestors to leave the refinery; which they ignored, and a subsequent enforcement order was issued. IST oversaw the peaceful arrest of the protesters. The protesters were released on separate Promise to Appear documents. One to appear in Provincial Court to answer to the charge of Mischief and the 2nd to appear in BC Supreme Court for Disobeying a Court order. IST is in ongoing consultation with Crown Counsel over possible charges facing the protesters.

are a fundamental component of our District Operations. They staff the front counter at each Community Police Office and spend countless hours in Crime Prevention Initiatives to make our community safer. This is an area In which any member of the public can participate. For more information, visit our website or come in to any one of our Community Police Offices.

(CRT) are the face of Community Operations in Burnaby. The mandate of the CRT is to target specific neighborhood and community problems such as problem properties, repeat calls to service, social chronic offenders and crime hot spot problems in Burnaby with the goal of enhancing public safety and reducing calls for service.During this reporting period:

General Duty members in police vehicles located a stolen vehicle however lost it in heavy traffic. CRT members riding police mountain bikes, were able to work their way through the grid lock and confirm its location which was relayed to Air 1, the Lower Mainland Police Helicopter. The vehicle was followed from the air until it could be safely stopped. Several suspects were arrested and charges are pending.

Burnaby Detachment completed two Police bicycle training courses which trained both Auxiliary members and regular members. The Police bicycles have been a welcome sight to areas that are traditionally difficult to patrol. CRT members on bike patrol arrested several males using drugs in a local playground. The suspects were unaware of the fact that the bicycle riders were policeofficers until it was too late and were arrested while in possession of the drugs.

The Burnaby School Liaison / Youth Section experienced the pending job action, and now full teachers strike. During this time, the members continued to strengthen the already strong

relationship with the school district and their administration. The members continue to encounter Burnaby students in the community. The team is looking forward to the summer break, however, are prepared to continue to police the over eight thousand students that are enrolled in summer school. Summer is a great time to continue to make those positive contacts in the community with youth that are enjoying their holidays.

is responsible for investigating major traffic related files such as pedestrian/vehicle collisions, serious collisions and fatals. They are also the spearhead for the enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Act. As part of our Crime Reduction Strategy and in accordance with Burnaby’s Annual Priorities, they are supported by every operational member of the Detachment in their efforts to make the streets of Burnaby as safe as they can be.

On May 7, 2014 Burnaby Traffic Services officers attended to a collision between a cyclist and a vehicle on Beta Avenue at Brentwood Drive that resulted in the death of the cyclist. The investigation revealed that the cyclist exited Brentwood Mall but failed to stop at the stop sign. Witnesses reported that vehicles were backed up along Beta Ave. due to a red light at Lougheed Highway. It is believed that this obscured the vision of both persons. The cyclist was not able to avoid the collision. He was not wearing a helmet and died at scene. The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and was cooperative with police. Charges are not being laid. This was Burnaby’s second motor vehicle related fatality of the year.

Police attended a collision between two vehicles at Marine Drive and Byrne Road. The collision resulted from one driver who admitted he was looking at a clipboard when approaching Marine Drive and did not see that the light had changed. While not related to the use of a cell phone, this collision is a classic example of “distracted driving” which occurs all too often and illustrates the potentially tragic consequences. Miraculously, this incident did not result in any serious

injuries. The offending driver was charged for “driving without due care and attention” under the Motor Vehicle Act.

On May 12, a campaign called “Cone Zone” was launched by Worksafe BC in conjunction with law enforcement agencies to promote road safety in relation to construction zones. Aggressive driving and failure to obey traffic control crews in construction zones puts road crews and traffic control workers at high risk for serious injury or death. Some 24 roadside workers are injured or killed each year. The campaign runs until August. Burnaby Traffic Services officers will be conducting enforcement in and around construction zones in order to heighten public awareness for the safety of road workers and construction crews.

On June 26 and 27, Burnaby Traffic Services, along with ICBC and other law enforcement partner agencies will be participating in the launch of the Provincial Summer Counterattack Blitz and the National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day, respectively. Both days will be highlighted by media coverage as well as increased enforcement. This is intended to remind all motorists, as well as those operating boats and other vessels on the water, of the consequences of impaired driving. The summer months have large numbers of public events and activities which often include sales of alcoholic beverages. These events significantly increase the risk of impaired driving which is a leading cause of serious injury collisions andfatalities. Police will continue to conduct roadblocks and enforcement activities to interdict impaired drivers.

Operations

On June 7th, 2014 the Burnaby RCMP Auxiliary Constable Program assisted with the operation of Hat’s Off Day. The program provided 32 regular Auxiliary Constables and 20 Auxiliary Cadets in training. These Auxiliary Constables assisted with traffic management and supplemented the regular members with bike patrols. The senior Auxiliaries provided wonderful mentorship and allowed this to be a fantastic learning experience for the 20 Auxiliary Cadets in training.

The Crime Prevention Unit is delighted to welcome the newest Crime Prevention Facilitator to our team, Candice CRITCHLOW. Candice comes to us from RCMP Headquarters with additional experience from the Port Coquitlam Community Policing Station. Our unit is now fully staffed, with three full time Facilitators, and one Crime Prevention Programs Coordinator.One of Candice’s first tasks was To run a “Digitally Distracted” texting obstacle course exercise at the 2014 Burnaby NAOSH fair for City staff. Candice developed and initiated this

exercise herself, having prior success running the course in partnership with ICBC. This was a fun, interactive means to show City staff in attendance the dangers of texting while driving. On June 7th the Crime Prevention Unit hosted a popular booth at Hats Off Day, in North Burnaby. Kids young and old alike enjoyed spinning the prize wheel to answer questions about personal safety and home security. Unit staff hosted an interactive presentation On June 6th on the topic of Senior Safety and Fraud Prevention. This most recent presentation is a part of an ongoing series of educational talks and workshops hosted by the Crime Prevention Unit. All are open to any interested member of the public, free of charge.

May and June continued to be busy for Victim Services. To date in 2014, Victim Services has served 418 clients, an 80% increase over 2013. This increase is due primarily to the excellent relationships which have been have built with our specialized investigative units and front line members, and in part to our enhanced response capacity as a result of our extended hours.

Additionally, staff attended the provincial Police Victim Services Conference held here in Burnaby at the Delta Conference Centre. This was an excellent opportunity for staff to gain information on emerging issues in the field and to liaise with our partners in other programs. Two members also attended additional training hosted by the provincial association on trauma intervention for groups of people in large scale incidents. The Victim Services field is evolving rapidly and it is important that we continuously develop to meet the new challenges we face.

In June Victim Services assisted E Division with coordinating the attendance of the key note speaker for the launch of the national counterattack initiative. This client had been severely injured in an accident involving an impaired driver several years ago in Burnaby. In spite of the many obstacles she has recovered and is sharing her experience with others to educate about the risks and dangers associated to drinking and driving.

A total of 29 youth have been referred to Burnaby RCMP Youth Services during this reporting period.

Volunteers from the Restorative Justice Program contributed a total of 22 hours as part of their involvement in the Retail Theft Circles and ongoing volunteer training. The Youth Services Restorative Justice Coordinator held a series of meetings with staff from the Edmonds Community Centre in an effort to strategize and problem-solve around incidents of theft at the centre.

Youth Services also continues to work closely with the Burnaby School District and in May they facilitated a Restorative Justice Workshop with Leadership 11/12 students at Burnaby North Secondary.

On Saturday June 7, Burnaby RCMP Members, Auxiliary Constables and Municipal Employees participated in the annual Hats Off Day Parade on Hastings.

The month of June was a difficult one for the RCMP as we mourned the loss of three members who lost their lives in the line of duty protecting the citizens of Moncton, NB. On June 10th, E-Division HQ hosted a memorial parade in honor of Csts. Dave Ross, , Fabrice Gevaudan and Douglas Larche. While these three fallen members are fresh in our minds, the members at Burnaby Detachment also held a memorial service in honor of Cst. Terry Tomfohr who, while protecting the Citizens of Burnaby, lost his life in the line of duty on June 3, 1967.
