CONFIDENTIAL a 2.

POLICING REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY

TO THE MAYOR OF — PORT COQUITLAM

You will note that a minor alteration in the layout of this form has taken place,
with the objective being to make it more easily read. The four left hand colunns
refer only to the current year's statistics and the right half deals with last
year's statistics, for comparison purposes.

You will also note that the statistical block showing, "Number of Juveniles
Involved this Month" has been deleted. . This has been done because the figures
presented were totally misleading in that they only included juveniles that were
actually apprehended in relation to a particular offence. A very large portion
of the unsolved offences each month are undoubtedly committed by juveniles;
however, the number can only be speculated at.

A major investigation is continuing into a complaint from the mother of a 9 year
old girl to the effect that the child was molested and indecently assaulted by
an adult babysitter. It appears to be an isolated incident.

Iwo possible arson cases were investigated during the month; one of which has
been concluded as an accident while the other is still being actively pursued
with a possibility of criminal charges being laid,

There was marked increase in B&E's in January 1980 compared to January 1979,
with a total of 4] this year compared to 30 last January. There was a similar
increase in wilful damage cases; 36 in January 1979 compared to 55 this January.

We are stepping up our "walk through" program in retail liquor outlets, with a
view to cutting down on liquor related offences, such as wilful damage complaints
and minor thefts.

During January, our School Curriculum Program members talked to 48 school classes
at the clementary and junior high levels.
