Severity of crime trended down in 2024 for Williams Lake
The volume and severity of crimes reported by police in Williams Lake was lower in 2024 compared to 2023. 'Everything is down,' said Williams Lake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor about the city's Crime Severity Index (CSI) results for 2024, published on Tuesday, July 22 by Statistics Canada. 'I'm concerned, don't take me wrong, but I think what the local leadership is working on is working,' he said, adding that it was his job as mayor to protect and provide safety to the city. In 2024, crime severity in the municipality of Williams Lake decreased by 23 per cent from the year prior and rural Williams Lake saw a nine per cent decrease. The violent crime severity index in the municipality was reduced by 26 per cent and non violent by 22 per cent. Over 10 years, the index saw only a 0.4 per cent overall CSI reduction for the municipality, but an 11 per cent reduction for rural Williams Lake. Nevertheless, it's a big change for the city in B.C.'s Interior which saw an increase in the severity of police reported crimes in 2023. 'It's good to see these numbers down,' Rathor said. 'Credit goes not only to RCMP but to all the community, everybody is doing their part.' The mayor emphasized the importance of collaboration when working on building a safe community, not only among the leaders and authorities but with each and every individual who reports crime or unusual behaviour to the police. 'And that's what I expect, I expect nothing less than that,' Rathor said. 'Community safety cannot rest solely on the shoulders of police alone,' said Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Brad McKinnon in a statement to the Tribune. 'A multi-pronged, preventative approach is needed in our efforts to continue reducing crime and improve community sense of safety in our city.' McKinnon said the CSI results indicate that crime is down in Williams Lake and reflect what the local police detachment has been seeing daily. 'The Williams Lake detachment's top priority has been to reduce crime,' McKinnon said, which is being accomplished by focusing resources on locations identified as concerns. He said officers have been collaborating with multiple agencies 'to intervene and support people before their situations become acute,' and police visibility has been increased on the streets, in parks and in known problem areas. McKinnon also said RCMP have been proactive in taking an analytical approach to preventing crime and targeting repeat and violent offenders. 'Many crimes are crimes of opportunity and are preventable,' McKinnon added. 'So we remind people that property crime can be reduced by locking our doors, our vehicles and securing our bicycles.' In the last decade, 2020 and 2023 yielded the highest results on the index for the municipality of Williams Lake, while 2019 and 2021 were higher for rural Williams Lake. The lakecity also ranked ninth among B.C. jurisdictions with the highest CSIs, calculated by adjusting the crime rate based on the severity of the crime. However, the index does not account for specific demographics and can be misinterpreted without considering the context of an area. Significant statistical anomalies can occur for municipalities with small population bases, particularly if they are a hub for their region. A single prolific offender, or a small number of particularly violent crimes such as murder or aggravated assault can result in significant swings as crimes are weighted by severity to calculate the index. In June, additional resources were sent to Williams Lake to help address disturbances in the city's downtown as the question of declaring a state of local emergency was floated. 'I'm concerned for the overall well-being of our my job as a mayor to protect and to provide the safety and look after the safety of our citizens, as a mayor and council it's our job,' Rathor said. Across the country, the rate of police-reported crime was down in 2024. In B.C., the crime rate decreased by seven per cent from 2023 to 2024 and the CSI decreased by 11 per cent. Over the past 10 years, B.C.'s crime rate was down eight per cent, but the severity index is up by three. With files from Mark Page and Thom Barker. Error!

Travelling pickpocket scam hits at least a dozen Winnipeggers, police say
Winnipeg police continue to warn of a group of scammers they say are using sleight of hand to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. Const. Dani McKinnon told 680 CJOB that the scheme typically involves a scammer approaching a stranger and asking for help, then distracting the victim with phony valuables before picking their pockets. Over a dozen Winnipeggers, McKinnon said, have reported falling victim to the scam. 'People that are driving out-of-province vehicles, typically like a caravan, wandering around with children, approaching people asking for little bits of money, (such as) 'Can you help with some gas money?'

McKinnon said the scams are often happening in public, in broad daylight. She said Winnipeggers should be wary of strangers offering 'valuable' items in exchange for help — and if you're victimized by this kind of scam, make sure you report it to police. Story continues below advertisement 'If you can, just try and take a note of their description — what these people look like, suspect vehicle, and whatnot,' McKinnon said. 'It's very good to be mindful, especially with all the festivities that are going on. There's street festivals, Fringe and whatnot. 'These are the crimes of opportunity that suspects will take advantage of.'
