Business Watch - Crime Map – August 2019

Business Watch is a partnership between local Burnaby business communities, the City of Burnaby, and the RCMP.

Our goal is to provide tools and resources to help reduce business-related crime. These maps reflect crime trends in the business community. When incidents are reported to police the information is used to deploy resources strategically, identify crime hot spots, and analyze trends and patterns.
The maps are provided as a tool to promote awareness and crime reduction throughout the business communities. Check out the Business Watch website for more information (External link, opens in a new window http://burnaby.ca/businesswatch)

Crime Prevention Tips

• Establish internal procedures for accepting credit card payments, and how to check for stolen cards.
• Ask for a primary piece of identification, to help determine if the card belongs to the individual making the purchase.
• Always compare the signature to the signature on the back of the credit card and ask for additional identification.
• To prevent credit card numbers and names from being used to make false credit cards, always destroy carbon copies from credit card invoices or the merchant roll of the invoice printer when you are finished bookkeeping.
