Community Safety Programs
Burnaby is a safe city to live, work, play and visit. To ensure that our city continues to be peaceful and secure, a number of programs are in place. These programs are aimed at maintaining the safety of Burnaby residents and preventing crime.
Some of the programs rely on Community Volunteers to deliver them, while others are operated by the RCMP and City representatives.
