TO: Vancouver Police Board FROM: Drazen Manojlovic, Director, Planning, Research & Audit Section SUBJECT: Year-End 2017 Key Performance Indicators Report RECOMMENDATION:

That the Vancouver Police Board receives this report for information. BACKGROUND: The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) report is produced quarterly. Amongst other statistics, this report reviews property crime, violent crime, apprehensions under section 28 of the Mental Health Act (MHA), priority 1 response time, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s (ICBC) reported traffic injuries, and ICBC reported motor vehicle incidents resulting in death. This report provides a macro-level perspective of organizational performance and overall public safety. DISCUSSION: The following is a summary of the year-end 2017 KPI Report (note – with the exception of motor vehicle collisions with injury, 2017 results are compared to 2016 based on a full year from January 1 to December 31): Violent Crime

• The violent crime rate (per 1,000 population) increased by 1.9%. • There were 19 incidents of culpable homicide in 2017 compared to 12 in 2016. • Sexual offences increased by 2.0%. • There were 52 bank robbery incidents in 2017 compared to 68 in 2016. • There were 31 shots fired incidents in 2017 compared to 26 incidents in 2016.

Property Crime

• The property crime rate (per 1,000 population) decreased by 1.9%. • B&E - Business incidents decreased by 17.5%. • B&E - Residence incidents decreased by 17.6%. • Theft from motor vehicle incidents increased by 1.6%.

Section 28 MHA Apprehensions The number of section 28 MHA apprehensions decreased by 1.1%, from 2,822 incidents in 2016 to 2,790 incidents in 2017. Priority 1 Response Time Vancouver’s 2017 priority 1 response time (9:46) was 0.2%, or 1 second, slower when compared to the 2016 priority 1 response time (9:45). Traffic Injuries & Deaths ICBC data shows Vancouver has experienced 5.0% fewer ICBC reported injuries from January to September 2017 (7,781) compared to the same time period in 2016 (8,187). ICBC data on motor vehicle collisions with injury lag a quarter behind in order to maximize data reliability. With regard to fatal motor vehicle collisions, there were 13 fatalities in 2017 compared to 15 fatalities in 2016. CONCLUSION: The VPD will provide the Vancouver Police Board four quarterly KPI reports scheduled for meetings in April (Q1), July (Q2 YTD), October (Q3 YTD), and February 2019 (year-end of 2018).

TRAFFIC RELATED INJURIES & DEATHS ICBC data1 shows the city of Vancouver experienced 5.0% fewer ICBC reported injuries from January to September 2017 (7,781) compared to the same period in 2016 (8,187). Table 5: ICBC Reported Injuries & Fatalities: Q3 YTD 2016 Compared to Q3 YTD 2017

Jan-Sept 2017 Jan-Sept 2016 % Change

Incidents 7,781 8,187

5.0% ICBC’s update to their claims database is reliable for data going back to 2014. As such, moving forward 2014 is now considered the base-line year when analysing year-to-year data. Figure 7 illustrates the number of ICBC reported injuries from Q3 YTD 2014 to Q3 YTD 2017. ICBC reported three consecutive increases from Q3 YTD 2014 (7,069) to Q3 YTD 2016 (8,187). Q3 YTD 2017 (7,781) has seen its first decrease in four years. Figure 7: Q3 YTD Trend for ICBC Reported Injuries & Fatalities
