Preliminary analysis of crime types for June and July reveal that shoplifting complaints were down 53% when compared to June and July 2022.
Project Dovetail built off the success of last summers ‘Project C.O.R.E.’, which was effective in reducing crime in the downtown area. This summer, Project Dovetail advanced those efforts by forming a collaborative team led by the RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) with support from: Maple Ridge Bylaws, Community Safety Officers, RCMP volunteers and Westridge Security.
The two-month long initiative also provided outreach services and referrals to vulnerable residents and featured dedicated foot and bike patrols which increased visibility and boosted business and resident engagement throughout the Maple Ridge Town Centre.
This partnership is part of the broader community safety program where we are working with our partners and key stakeholders to ensure that we are proactively working in the community to address the safety of our businesses and citizens, states Michelle Adams, Director of Bylaw, Licensing & Community Safety.
