Maple Ridge 2017 Q1 Statistical Citizens Crime Summary
QUARTER 1: DETAILED STATISTICAL CRIME SUMMARIES BY CATEGORY
Criminal Code Offences
The overall cumulative distribution of Criminal Code offences across the major crime categories experienced an 11%
decrease in 2017 Q1 as compared to the same period of 2016.
Crime Against Persons
Violent Crime represented 13% of total Criminal Code offences in 2017 Q1. This category is seeing a decrease of 5% when
compared to the first quarter of 2016. Offences within this category that are experiencing increases include Domestic
Violence (+19), Extortion (+2), Harassing/Obscene Phone Calls (+5), and Robbery (+2). All other offence types are seeing a
decrease.
Property Crime

The offence types that experienced an increase are Fraud (+1), Theft From Vehicle (+22), and Theft of Vehicle (17).
Other Criminal Code Offence
“Other” Criminal Code offences represented 36% of total Criminal Code offences in 2017 Q1 and decreased 14% over the
same period of 2016. Cause Disturbance is the most common offence type in this category.
Controlled Substances
Drug related offences decreased 15% in 2017 Q1 over 2016 Q1. Ridge Meadows RCMP Street Enforcement Unit led a four
month long investigation during the last quarter of 2016 and first quarter of 2017 that resulted in the arrest and charges
being forward on 5 individuals in Maple Ridge. All were charged in relation to offences with fentanyl.
Traffic
There were a total of 200 collisions in 2017 Q1 resulting in a 17% decrease over the same period in 2016. This includes 0
fatal collisions, 34 non-fatal injury collisions and 166 damage collisions. Maple Ridge is also experiencing a decrease in
collisions when compared to the previous quarter (quarter 4 2016).
In 2017 Q1 police officers removed 36 impaired drivers off the streets of Maple Ridge. The decrease in this category over
the same period in 2016 is likely due in part to traffic members actively targeting Excessive Speeding in addition to other
traffic violations.

Maple Ridge 2017 Q1 Statistical Citizens Crime Summary
Data Qualifiers
The summarized offence statistical data in the following report is derived from the RCMP PRIME - BC Provincial Occurrence
Code Table (UCR) and differs from data provided up to June 6, 2006, in the Operational Statistics Reporting System (OSR)
within the Police Information Retrieval System (PIRS). As a result, scoring rules and occurrence codes have been modified
and will not accurately reflect changes when comparing UCR and OSR data.
The summarized data included in this report represent “actual offences” only (i.e.: those incidents which upon preliminary
investigation have been deemed to have occurred or been attempted) Incidents of crime that were reported but could not
be substantiated when followed up by the police are considered to be “unfounded” and are subtracted from the number of
reported offences to produce the number of actual offences. This data also does not indicate or infer the number of
charges laid, prosecutions conducted, informations sworn, or convictions obtained.
Data contained in this report is also based on accumulated-to-date information. The data presented here may vary from
previously produced reports and numbers may continue to change due to the dynamic nature of offences being reported
and cleared.
The crime data contained within this report (i.e.: number of offences) utilizes the UCR Survey to collect aggregate data on
the incidence of crime. The UCR Survey uses the most serious incident rule when compiling police-reported crime data. The
MSO rule stipulates that where a single criminal incident contains a number of violations of the law, then only the most
serious one is recorded for UCR purposes. As a result, the total number of UCR offences does not represent the total of all
crime reported by police (i.e.: the UCR Survey tends to underestimate the true incidence of relatively less serious crimes)
For the purposes of this report, offences have been divided into 5 major categories that include Crimes Against Persons,
Offences Against Property and Other Criminal Code offences. Offences under the Controlled Drugs & Substances Act have
been included but not other federal statutes such as the Customs Act or the Canada Shipping Act. The statistical summary
also includes Traffic collisions and impaired investigations but does not include municipal traffic infractions or other by-law
infractions.
Crimes Against Persons - include attempt murder, assault, sex offence, robbery and abduction.
Offences Against Property - include commercial, residential and other break & enter, possession of stolen
property, mischief, theft of vehicle, theft from vehicle, theft, arson and fraud.
Other Criminal Code Offences - include prostitution, weapons, trespassing, disturbing the peace, obstruction,
breach, indecent acts, bail violation, escape custody, counterfeiting currency and cause disturbance.
Traffic - consists of impaired drivers, IRP’s, roadside suspensions, fatal and damage collisions
Controlled Drugs/Substances - consist of drug offences involving trafficking, possession and production.
