South Surrey Community Profile and Crime Statistics

See the attached information from our RCMP district 5 Block Watch coordinator. Included are a number of PDF documents. Please be sure to scroll through all the pages of the attached documents. In particular the South Surrey Community profile has some very interesting statistics. Also of note are the crime maps. Our area is relatively crime free thanks to you for your vigilance. However, you will notice there have been a number of break ins, specifically attributed to people leaving thier garage door open at night. Please ensure you check your garage door as the last thing you do before going to bed and lock the inside door leading from the garage. Stay safe.
