Burnaby Crime Reduction Update – February 2022

Crime happens in all communities, but the Burnaby Board of Trade works with community partners to ensure the impact on local businesses is limited as much as possible.  Every month, the Burnaby Board of Trade will be issuing a Burnaby Crime Reduction Update, featuring the latest crime stats, information on preventing crime, and other resources from the Burnaby RCMP.     If you have crime concerns in your business, let us know by contacting the Burnaby Board of Trade.
