Burnaby’s top cop looks to the future O
n the occasion of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the date the Royal Canadian Mounted Police began providing policing services to the citizens of Burnaby, it is my honour as the current officer in charge to reflect on how far we have come and where we will go in the future.
▲ A MESSAGE FROM CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT RICK TAYLOR
Soon after I commenced my duties as the new officer in charge in August of 2007, I embarked on a detailed assessment and consultation process to develop my vision for the Burnaby detachment over the next 5 to 10 years. In January of 2008, I published a bold but achievable vision for what I hope and expect Burnaby detachment will be, now and in the future:
1) Our community trusts and supports us, and is engaged “Our community with us in an integrated trusts and supports partnership to keep us and is engaged Burnaby safe and secure with us in an integrated for all citizens.
partnership to keep Burnaby safe and secure for all citizens”
2) The Burnaby detachment has an effective “Strategic Communications Plan” to tell our story well to ensure that our citizens and our community partners understand us, and are aware of and have access to the incredible programs and services we provide for, and on behalf of, our community.
3) The Burnaby detachment’s Crime Reduction Strategy is intelligenceled, evidence-based, and focused on community priorities established in consultation with our citizens and partners, resulting in low rates of crime and victimization, and a low fear of crime for all citizens of Burnaby. 4) The Burnaby detachment is a positive, safe and supportive working environment; a much sought-after workplace by police officers, civilian employees and community volunteers, who aspire to be part of the Burnaby detachment team. 5) The Burnaby detachment is a recognized leader in the policing community for the innovative programs and services we provide with and for our citizens and partners, with inspired leadership focused on maintaining our high standards of performance and service delivery. We are well on our way to achieving the reality of this vision, thanks to the collective efforts of the dedicated police officers, civilian support staff and community volunteers who serve our community. These efforts have included annual public safety forums in North and South Burnaby, regular reports to the community through media releases and public safety notices, and monthly and annual reporting of our policing activities to Mayor and council through the community policing committee. An added feature to our communications strategy is our new Burnaby RCMP website (www.burnaby.rcmp.ca) which went live on July 26th, 2010. We have reorganized and restructured ourselves over the past three years,
creating new specialty enforcement teams and augmenting other existing teams to ensure maximum efficiency in our programs and services. With the incredible support of mayor and council, we have added new police and civilian support resources, as well as several new assets (specialty vehicles) to enhance our operational capabilities. Our Crime Reduction Strategy is now in full operation, with an intelligence-led focus on prolific offenders who victimize our community, identifying emerging crime hotspots through analysis of crime data, and looking for the root-causes of crime. Working with our citizens and key partners in the community, we will collectively find long term solutions to these challenges. Looking towards the future, as the City of Burnaby continues to attract new citizens and business from around the world, so will the Burnaby detachment continue to grow and mature. We will strive towards achieving our long-term vision, strategically planning for growth and the challenges that will accompany it. On behalf of the members and employees of the Burnaby RCMP detachment team, I would like to thank Mayor Corrigan, the members of council, the members of the community policing committee, the City of Burnaby senior management team, and the thousands of citizen volunteers in our crime prevention programs, for their unfailing support and encouragement as we continue to fulfill our mandate of ensuring public safety and security for the citizens of our community. Sincerely, R.B. (Rick) Taylor, Chief Superintendent Officer in Charge Burnaby Detachment
Congratulations to the Burnaby RCMP detachment on 60 years of service

n 1975, student Mary Trainer prepared an extensive report on the history of policing in Burnaby between 1892 and 1950. While the RCMP celebrates its 60th anniversary in the city this year, it’s instructive to read some of Trainer’s more interesting findings from her report. Burnaby has seen three distinctly different police units in its history: Burnaby Municipal Police from 1892 to 1935, British Columbia Provincial Police from 1935 to 1950 and the RCMP from 1950 to present. In early 1896, Burnaby’s council advertised in The Daily Columbian newspaper for “a constable to enforce compliance with the Wide Tire Act. The act prohibited teamsters or wagon owners from
carrying more than 2,000 pounds with tire on the wheels less than four inches wide.” Burnaby’s first constable, William Bailey from Central Park, was hired on a part-time basis in November 1896. Bailey, also secretary of the board of school trustees at Central Park, was on duty two days a week enforcing the Wide Tire bylaw and was paid about $20 a month. Later in the year, council appointed Bailey sanitary inspector and asked him to crack down on people who allowed their swine to run at large and damage roads. By 1900, Burnaby’s citizens were vocalizing their needs for law enforcement.

Even though Burnaby was overseen by a municipal police force until 1935, the provincial police force also had a presence in Burnaby, patrolling the more sparsely settled districts near the city and on the north short of Burrard Inlet. The beginning of the end for the municipal force may have come during the Great Depression years of the early 1930s. The city owed so much money to merchants and employees that they had to ďŹ re the entire police force and reinstate them at lower salaries. The chief constable saw his salary go down 17.5 per cent while others saw a 15 per cent decrease. On Feb. 28, 1935, Burnaby’s municipal police force was ofďŹ cially dissolved and the provincial police took over, at a cost of $25,000 per year. Each member of the force was given a termination notice and an application for enlistment in the new force.

to policing in the city. In fact, the Edmonds community policing office is named after the longtime police officer who passed away in 2009 at the age of 90. Not only did Brown distinguish himself with his service in the city, he influenced others to enter the force, including son Don and countless young Burnaby kids. You’ll meet one of them later in this story but Brown’s story is a part of the Burnaby RCMP’s long and distinguished history in the city. Born in Birmingham, England in1919, Brown immigrated to Winnipeg
“He was always friendly and always willing to listen.” – Staff Sgt. John Buis when he was three. He lived in Winnipeg until the Second World War began, leaving high school to join the 12th Field Company of the Royal Canadian Engineers. In 1939, he went overseas, returning in 1944, when he went back to university
before joining the B.C. Provincial Police in 1947, which was absorbed by the RCMP in 1950. During his 26-year tenure with the RCMP, Brown served in Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver, retiring as a superintendent after
serving most of his time in the forensic laboratories - long before CSI made those skills popular television fodder. But it was Burnaby where Brown made his mark and his home. SEE BROWN B11 ▼

Brown After retirement, he served two years on the school board, six years as a councillor and 10 years as a parks and recreation commissioner. In March, 1993, he was awarded the highest honour in the city, Freeman. Another great honour came in May 2007, when the Edmonds community policing office was named after Brown.
“We hope that all our officers can represent the city like Don Brown represented the city. much Burnaby has given me. … The people have been so friendly, been so accepting of us ever since we got here that I’ve never wanted to leave.” Staff Sgt. John Buis said Brown set a great example for all police officers.
“He literally beamed because I think he realized the importance of that day. ... The Edmonds area had not had a permanent police office in the area since 1967 and, for it to open that day, and to have it named after him, he was really humbled and honoured by the occasion,” said Buis. Also beaming with pride that day was a man who looked up to Don Brown as a mentor and idol.
“I’m very honoured to be here,” Brown said that day. “This concept of community policing, this is the only way to go.
“I first met him as a young constable, and I was always impressed with his ability to relate to people,” said Buis. “He was always friendly and always willing to listen.”
“I’m very proud of my father,” said the younger Don Brown, pointing out that he’s had the opportunity to be posted to Burnaby but he held out for a posting just outside of Victoria, in Sooke on Vancouver Island.
“This is the place I love. ... I’ve loved Burnaby ever since I got here, and I can’t tell you how
Buis remembers what that May day meant, both to Brown and the citizens of Burnaby.
“It would have been humorous to work out of an office named for my father,” said the son.
The younger Brown wasn’t the only person Don Brown influenced. Bruce Terkelsen grew up in Burnaby and was a member of the victorious 1953 Burnaby South high school basketball team. It was the last days of the school year in 1953 and Terkelsen, now retired and living in Saanich on Vancouver Island, picks up the story. “We were having lunch, a bunch of us talking about what we wanted to do and Don Brown and Harry Twist started taking to us and telling us that becoming an RCMP officer might be something we should consider,” said Terkelsen. “One of my buddies, Des Archer jumped on it right away and by the time we were finished lunch, there were four of us who were going to sign up.”
In those days, the sign-up and testing facility was in Vancouver, at the Fairmont barracks near 33rd Avenue and Heather Street.
detachment and I was single at the time.”
“All but one of us got in and he missed out because he didn’t meet the height requirement (of being 5-8 or taller),” said Terkelsen. “I signed up and I was sent off to Ottawa and then Saskatchewan for training.”
“When Don Brown patrolled the area, he always made sure to talk to people,” said Terkelsen. “That’s something I tried to do when I was an officer. I have to think we weren’t the only people he influenced and there’s probably a whole bunch of us who became police officers because they talked to Don Brown.”
Terkelsen became a fullfledged RCMP officer in January 1955 and served 35 years with the RCMP, including postings in 13 different places. “It’s weird that I never made it back to Burnaby,” said Terkelsen. “The closest I got was Surrey/ Cloverdale. I think one of the reasons why I didn’t get to Burnaby at that time was because Burnaby was known as a married man’s
Terkelsen said Brown was an example that he and Archer both tried to follow.
Brown’s legacy continues to live on at the community policing office that bears his name. “Don Brown exemplifies the best qualities of what the RCMP represents in the city,” said Buis. “We hope that all our officers can represent the city like Don Brown represented the city.”
