Business Watch - Crime Map – September 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

• Ensure that you have good video surveillance system that is prominently displayed both inside and outside of the premises.
• Employers should ensure that cameras are checked regularly and are in good working order, capable of capturing quality-unobscured images.
• Ensure all entering customers are visible by an employee.
• Evaluate lighting in the evening hours for areas of shadow and contrast, particularly in relation to entry points. Consider motion-activated lights for dark areas.
