 Officer-in-Charge A partnership between the City, the community and the RCMP
Welcome to the Burnaby Detachment Community Policing Website
On behalf of the police officers, civilian staff and community volunteers of the Burnaby Detachment, I would like to extend a welcome to the Burnaby Detachment Community Policing Website!
This website is the result of an ongoing partnership between the City of Burnaby, the Chair and Members of the Community Policing Committee, and the members and staff of Burnaby Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Burnaby Detachment is planning to hire a full-time Webmaster in the near future, who will create an interactive website for Burnaby RCMP Detachment. This website will provide the citizens of Burnaby the opportunity to interact with us online, and in real time. Until then, this Community Policing Website Page on the City of Burnaby's public website will provide citizens with basic key information on the programs and services available at our Main Detachment, and at the Community Police Offices strategically located in each quadrant of the City of Burnaby. Information and links to other important sources of literature on Crime Prevention will also be available.
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to the City of Burnaby for providing space/access on the City's website, and to all those dedicated employees and volunteers who have played a key part in making this website a reality. In particular, I would like to recognize Ms. Joan SELBY from the City of Burnaby Planning Department, for her passion and dedication towards community wellness, and her vision and expertise in making this website possible!
Sincerely,
R.B. (Rick) Taylor, Supt.
Officer in Charge
Burnaby Detachment

When you report a crime or suspicious activity, police response will vary depending on the situation as it is occurring. All calls are handled on a priority level and divided into two basic categories:
Emergency - Call 911 – Used to report any crime that is in progress, e.g., a break and enter in progress, robbery, assault, and situations where the suspect is still present. The police are dispatched on a high priority to these calls.
Non-Emergency - Call 604-294-7922 - Used to report any crime that has already been committed, and suspects have left the scene, e.g. damage to property overnight, a break and enter while you were away. Police are dispatched to these calls on a priority basis according to ongoing volume of calls for service at that time.
Standard Priority Codes
- Priority 1 -- File will receive immediate attention and be dispatched to available police units. Dispatch will re-assign police units previously assigned to non-priority calls.
- Priority 2 -- File will receive immediate attention and be dispatched to the first available police unit for attendance.
- Priority 3 -- Routine calls for service.
- Priority 4 -- The file will be recorded but police will not be dispatched.
Incidents in progress are considered Priority 1 and 2. The files will be handled accordingly. Non-emergency complaints are most often Priority 3. Police attend the scene but the response is of a less urgent nature. In a Priority 4 call, information on the complaint is recorded in a file and the file number is provided to the complainant. 
Phone Numbers:
Emergency -- Call 911
Non Emergency and Information:
Main Detachment -- 604-294-7922
Community Police Offices:
- Hastings-Brentwood -- 604-656-3250
- Lougheed -- 604-656-3200
- D.N. Brown (Southeast) -- 604-656-3275
- Southwest -- 604-656-3232
Always Report a Crime
No matter how small the crime is, report it to police. A crime committed against you or your property could be part of a bigger pattern police are working to solve. Your call could lead to the arrest of a chronic offender, thereby preventing other crimes from occurring.
Police need to know where criminal activity is taking place in order to identify “hot spots” and determine where to allocate police resources. If police don't know about crimes, they can't work to catch perpetrators and reduce criminal activity in your area.
