The Kamloops RCMP is pleased to report continuing efforts in achieving our objectives for each of our five Strategic Priorities (Crime Reduction, Traffic/Road Safety, Drugs and Organized Crime, First Nations Policing and Vulnerable Persons). The report also includes a 2018 overview of the Kamloops RCMP Major Police Investigations, Health and Wellness, Resource Levels, Crime Prevention Unit initiatives and in keeping with our previous reports, some statistics have been provided outlining our calls for service and our actual offences. Regards, Supt. Sydney LECKY Officer in Charge Kamloops RCMP Detachment [KAMLOOPS RCMP 2018 YEAR-END REPORT] January 1 – December 31, 2018 Strategic Priority #1: Crime Reduction During 2018, Crimes Against Property decreased when compared to 2017. Highlights from this category include: Break and Enter Business increased by 8% (208 additional files) • Break and Enter Residence decreased by 13% (243 fewer file) • Break and Enter Other decreased by 17% (87 fewer files) • Theft of Auto decreased by 22% (363 fewer files) • Theft from Motor Vehicle decreased by 17% (2102 fewer files) • Mischief –Loss Employment Prop, Mischief-Cause By Act/Omission, Mischief Under $5,000 and Mischief Over $5,000 (combined) increased by 47% (2631 additional files) o Of note, Vagrancy (Other Criminal Code Offence) decreased by 100%, which may account for some of the increase within the various Mischief offences. During 2018, the Kamloops Detachment completed 2397 Street Checks. This represents a .87 % decrease (21 fewer checks) from 2017. Thefts of Bikes decreased by 5% (8 fewer files) from the same time period in 2017. Our Crime Prevention members hosted three 529 Garage events to promote the use of the application services. 529 Garage allows users to enter their bike and its specifics (including ID numbers and photos) into a database. Strategic Priority #2: Traffic / Road Safety The Kamloops Traffic Unit has finalizing its migration to the Traffic Services Management Information Tool (TSMIT). Our Traffic members engaged in a major three-day project with Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement, Conservation Services, Natural Resources, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans as well as CP Rail Police. This is in addition to two joint projects conducted with CP Rail Police, with an aim to educate members of the public on the topic of rail safety. Multiple joint operations with the Southeast District Central Interior Traffic Services and the Integrated Road Safety Unit were held focusing on impaired driving road checks and distracted driving campaigns. The NCO i/c of Traffic Services met with the Westsyde Community Development Society to discuss their traffic safety concerns along Westsyde road and in Bachelor Heights areas. A plan has been developed to address their concerns, which includes regular Speed Watch attendance and Speed Reader Boards along Westsyde Road. 1 | P a g e [KAMLOOPS RCMP 2018 YEAR-END REPORT] January 1 – December 31, 2018 The Kamloops Traffic members conducted the following enforcement activities in support of this priority: 5569 Traffic related charges 1297 Traffic related written warnings 636 Cell Phone related charges 58 Cell Phone related written warnings 843 Traffic Intersection related charges 181 Traffic Intersection related written warnings The Kamloops General Duty members conducted the following enforcement activities in support of this priority: 574 Traffic related charges 292 Traffic related written warnings 18 Cell Phone related charges 7 Cell Phone related written warnings 105 Traffic Intersection related charges 53 Traffic Intersection related written warnings Strategic Priority #3: Organized Crime (Drug Trafficking) The City of Kamloops continues to experience targeted violence associated to various drug trafficking networks vying for control of the Kamloops drug trade. The members of the Kamloops Targeted Enforcement Unit remain actively engaged in a number of ongoing investigations targeting those offenders and groups that pose the highest threat to public safety. Under the framework of the Provincial Tactical Enforcement Priority (PTEP), their aim is to disrupt those individuals and groups that pose the greatest risk to public safety in Kamloops. Some of the offences were normally positively impacted by the work of the Targeted Enforcement Unit, for example, Weapons Possession offences decreased by 21% (37 fewer files) and the entire Controlled Drugs and Substances Act Offences decreased by 21% (500 fewer files). Decreases like these are likely in part as a result of the Targeted Enforcement members being engaged in longer term projects. It should be noted that charges and seizures are not normally finalized until the project is finished. The Inadmissible Patrons Program continues to be a priority for the Kamloops Detachment. Its continued implementation will be paramount in assisting business owners to create a safe environment for their staff in which to work and for their patrons to enjoy. 2 | P a g e [KAMLOOPS RCMP 2018 YEAR-END REPORT] January 1 – December 31, 2018 Strategic Priority #4: First Nations Policing (Kamloops RCMP Rural Detachment Initiative) Kamloops RCMP Rural Detachment participated in 52 youth presentations and activities, completed 24 check stops and impaired driving investigations and issued 564 traffic violation tickets and 305 traffic notices. Strategic Priority #5: Vulnerable Persons The Street Enforcement Unit generated a total of 156 files in 2018 a 24% decrease from 2017 as a result of a vacant position. Members of the Street Enforcement Unit will continue to develop partnership with business and community stakeholders with in aim to keep our streets safe and a welcoming place to visit and to business in. The RCMP will be working closely with the new Bylaw management team to work on the City’s mandate and vision for the upcoming year. The Missing Persons Coordinator reviewed a total of 249 files in 2018 and was actively involved in the investigation and search of missing persons. The Coordinator will continue to liaise with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, various care homes and the Southeast District Missing Person’s Coordinator in an initiative to educate the care homes about reporting missing persons. The Kamloops RCMP Detachment had 1085 actual calls for service involving violence in relationships. A total of 253 individuals were charged resulting in a clearance rate of 23%. These calls account for 4% of all of our actual calls for service. Our Violence in Relationships Coordinator is now a “B Safer” accredited trainer and able to provide B Safer Risk Assessment training to Detachment members. The Mental Health Crisis Team responded to a total of 737 mental health files in 2018. This total does not reflect all of the work done by our Mental Health Teams as they may have many interactions with clients in a file. All the units which comprise our Kamloops at Risk Team (KART) participate in the Community Mobilization Team with an aim to bring together various community perspectives and resources to assist some of our clients. 3 | P a g e [KAMLOOPS RCMP 2018 YEAR-END REPORT] January 1 – December 31, 2018 Major Police Investigations In 2018, there were significant investigations undertaken by the Kamloops RCMP.

    The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F

    Conflict Quarterly The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F. Rutan Political truth is always precious in a democracy for it always makes up the first element of justice. Political truth is always suspect in a dictatorship, for it usually makes up the first element of treason. Anon. INTRODUCTION This article is historical in methodology, descriptive/analytic in focus. It was written to offer a primarily European readership an understanding of the origins, development, structure, and functions of the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Canadians who are, naturally, more familiar with the history and building of the CSIS will find it somewhat basic. Persons knowledgeable in security in­ telligence affairs will find little new or exciting in it. Yet, it is important that this case study of how a democratic state faced a scandal in its security intelligence functions, and came out of the scandal with a new, legal and democratic security intelligence process, be examined and ex­ plained. There are few state systems on earth today which have had the ability and the political will to do what Canada did: to confront an in­ telligence/security scandal and turn it into a strengthening of democracy. The Commission of Inquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, more popularly known as the McDonald Commission, was established in July 1977. The proximate cause for its establishment was an official statement by the then Commis­ sioner of the RCMP that allegations of participation by the force in il­ legal acts (including the break-in at a Quebec press agency office) might have some basis in fact.1 The Commission acknowledged that some members of the force might have been using methods and procedures not sanctioned by law in the performance of their duties for some time, par­ ticularly those duties associated with national defense and counteres­ pionage or counter-terrorism.

Further, it examines the advantages, disadvantages, service levels, and effectiveness of various policing models in municipal environments. The report recommends corresponding strategies and performance measures. The Review confirmed that Red Deer is not dissimilar to other jurisdictions with regard to community safety and security issues. Similar issues and challenges are faced by other municipalities across the country. In response, Red Deer has implemented a progressive program of public safety and community involvement. It has established a crime prevention and law enforcement continuum consistent with the vision of provincial legislation and policy direction.1 The recommendations provided address the issues experienced in, and perceptions of, the downtown core and a number of policing and public safety practices. The input from stakeholders, including Council, staff, community and social agencies, and the public show strong support for crime prevention and policing initiatives and a commitment to working together. Leading practices in crime prevention and policing are examined and Red Deer has a record of progressive measures and initiatives in prevention, intervention, and working within the continuum of crime prevention and policing. A number of comparator police agencies were surveyed to ascertain their service delivery.

    Section 8.—Royal Canadian Mounted Police.* the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Is a Constabulary Maintained by the Dominion Government

    1044 MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATION Canada Temperance Act.—Under Parts I and II of this Act, provision is made for the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors in counties and cities. The last vote taken under these parts was in the County of Compton, Quebec, on April 28, 1930, in response to a petition for the repeal of the Act in that county. The vote resulted in favour of the repeal, which became effective on June 14, 1930. Part III of the Act relates to penalties and prosecutions, Part IV to the prohibition of the importation and exportation of intoxicating liquors into and from the pro­ vinces, while Part V enacts provisions in aid of provincial legislation for the control of the liquor traffic. Section 8.—Royal Canadian Mounted Police.* The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is a constabulary maintained by the Dominion Government. It was organized in 1873, and was known as the North AYest Mounted Police, whose duties were confined to what was then known as the Northwest Territories. In 1904 its name was changed to Royal North West Mounted Police. In 1905, when Alberta and Saskatchewan were constituted provinces, an arrangement was made whereby the Force continued to discharge its former functions, each province making a contribution towards defraying the cost. This was continued until 1917. Soon after the close of the Great War an extension of governmental activities made it obvious that the enforcement of Dominion Statutes was assuming increasing proportions, and that it would soon be necessary to have a police force responsible therefor. In 1918, to the Royal North West Mounted Police was assigned the duty of the enforcement of Dominion legislation for the whole of Western Canada, west of Port Arthur and Fort William and in 1920 for the whole of Canada.
