The police officer was traveling northbound on No.4 Road when the coll ision occurred with a black Sunfire that had been travelling westbound on Alderbridge Way. Although Be Ambulance Service was dispatched, no injuries were sustained by any of the occupants.

Man Assaulted, Assistance Requested

On February 26th at approximately 4:00 am, a 47-year-old Richmond resident was crossing the street near Cambie Street and No.4 Road. The male fe lt someone approach him from behind as he was struck in the face with a blunt object, knocking him to the ground. The victim reported that two male suspects fl ed on foot, one wearing a toque with horizontal stripes.

Just prior to being assaulted, the male observed people exiting a yellow cab close by. investigators are hoping that someone will be able to identi fy the two males captured in the photos, as they are known to have been in a cab in lhe vicinity at the time the incident occurred. The Detachment has scnt out a new release with photos on Apri l 5th request ing the public's assistance in identifying the two persons of interest that may be able to shed some light on the assault.

suspected stolen vehicle by OnStar. I Richmond officers located the suspect outside of the stolen vehicle in the area of Smith and Douglas Streets in Richmond. The officers attempted to arrest the adult male suspect, however he ignored police commands. The suspect got back into the stolen vehicle and allegedly rammed two police vehicles, injuring one Richmond plainclothes officer before speeding away.

Air I attended the area and was able to safe ly follow the suspect vehicle into New Westminster. The New Westminster Police also followed the stolen vehicle in support of Air I. The driver is then alleged to have struck a civilian car at Ri ver Drive and No.5 Road, causing minor injuries to an adult female driver. Luckily, her four~year·old son, who was also in the car, was not injured.

The suspect vehicle then entered a New Westminster car dealership. The suspect appeared to steal a vehicle from the dealership, and was apprehended by New Westminster police officers without further incident. The suspect showed no concern for the safety of innocent people on the road and one of the offi cers is seriously injured. This was a multi·agency response that resulted in the quick apprehension of a dangerous car thief. The 40·year·old male driver of Surrey, B.C. is in police custody in Richmond, pending first court appearance.

Air I video is available at www.sendtonews.com.

Although the Richmond Detachment officer was seriously injured he will be able to return to active duty in the future.

Youth

ReM? Youth Academy

Two Youth Section police officers and 9 Richmond students attended the RCMP Youth Academy at Camp Still wood in Chilliwack. The students were required to successfully complete a rigorous selection process. They were then pennitted to attend the academy and experience some of the variety of activities that an RCMP Cadet would experience at the Depot Training Facility in Regina, Saskatchewan. Training for regular members at Depot is 6 months however the RCMP Youth Academy experience was done in 10 days.

This program started in 1996 and is designed for the participation of fifty high school students aged 16 to 18 who are interested in police work as a possible future career. The five Public School Districts of Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam and North Vancouver have initiated a partnership agreement with the RCMP to provide this unique opportunity.

This program is designed to place the students in a simulated RCMP training environment and involves role-playing the realities of policing. The students that successfully complete each phase of the selection process wi ll attend the Academy and experience some of the variety of activities that an RCMP Cadet would experience but in a condensed format a variety of other topics. Students will be involved in a great deal of role-playing scenarios where they will take turns taking on the role of a police officer or will be observing the role play in order to share thei r observations at the end. This process will require students to speak in front of groups while being evaluated by the instructional staff and their peers.

The Academy attempts to give a brief representation of some of those scenarios. Students observe and then role-play several scenarios including mock demonstrations of domestic vio lence, break and enters, traffic violations, arrests, searches, and even a mock court. Each troop of lOis exposed to one night of scenarios. The overall cost for each candidate is $750. This covers the cost of a unifann, meals, lodging and stationary. Each candidate is responsible for his or her cost to attend the Youth Academy. RCMP Members, Auxiliary Constables, School Board, School staff members and others attend the Academy at their home Detachment or School expense.

This years RCMP Youth Academy was held Tuesday, April 3, 2012 to Wednesday, April 11. 2012.

RICHMOND RCMP SPRING 2012

WORKING TOGETHER TO PREVENT CRIME NEWSLmER

Integrated Forensic Identification Section (lFIS) Richmond ReMP IFIS are responsible for collecting, processing, analyzing and interpreting evidence found al the scene of a crime. It is a job that requires years of special training and an eye for detail. Often it is the evidence gathered by the forensic identification officers that leads to a conviction in court.

IFIS Fact vs Fiction

C51 Fiction • Every lime you t011ch something, you leave an

identifiable print behind .

• CSt can take partial prints and put them together to get an identifiable print.

o CSl's computer identifies fingerprints (in seconds).

The most common type of trace evidence is fingerprints. Prints can be found on everything from doors and windows to weapons or even human skin. As technology improves, we are able to see and collect fingerprints from more and more materials.

Why use fingerprints? They ' re formed before you are born, they never change & are unique-no two are identical.

IFIS Fact .... . There are many variables which contribute to whether an

identifiable print is left on a surface.

.... • You cannot take partial prints and put them together like a puzzle, doing so would not stand up in court.

.... • The computer searches for possible matches, then a manual comparison is done by an lFIS member to compare the print to known suspects .

• After comparison, lFlS member may identify fingerprints .

• To help increase the likehood of lFIS finding identifiable prints, keep surfaces as clean as possible.

Training and Education

Throughout the month of April 2012, RFR's training team led several initiatives, as well as continuing to support the management of regular training within the current training plan.

RFR Training Staff facilitated the 8~month evaluation program of the current cohort of nine new recruits. All nine recruits performed well over the evaluations and are advancing to the next stage of training in their first-year syllabus.

The training team organized and facilitated the delivery of the quarterly competency training to all suppression staff over six days with 150 members completing the drill. This training reinforces the learning of new lift safety protocols; new water supply/hydrant equipment; new lifting techniques and correct radio storage methods.

Training was facilitated for 116 RFR members in Marina and Small Watercraft firefighting. RFR training staff scheduled, liaised and participated in both classroom and field exercises and developed and managed the safety response plan for this training initiative. This training will continue into May 2012.

notices were upheld and 2 were changed to warnings due to full compliance within the same day.

Five of the food establishments were referred to Metro Vancouver for decisions on installation of grease traps and/or design/size consideration.

Staff has also discussed the requirements for grease trap maintenance with 3 pumping service providers, and will be following up with similar discussion with all other identified pumping service providers who arc active in the City Richmond.

Staff met with the management of the Richmond Public Market to request their assistance with advising food establishments about the City' s requirements of fats , oils and grease management as stipulated under Bylaw 7551.

Staff Report

Origin

At the regular Council meeting held February 12, 2007, the fo llowing resolution was passed:

That staff comment and report on the feasibility of introducing an anti-idling bylaw.

Staff was also requested to evaluate and provide information on any anti-idling bylaws that arc in effect in other communities. This report responds to the referral and provides recommended action for addressing unnecessary vehicle idling in the City.

Background

Anti-Idling Impacts

According to the Federal Government, Canadian motorists idle their vehicles an average of 5 to 10 minutes a day. This activity contributes to the negative health and environmental impacts generally resulting from

" .. . more than I 0 seconds of vehicle use, including: idling uses more fuel than restarting the engine. As a rule of thumb, if you're going to stop for 10 seconds or more - except in traffic - tum the engine off. You'll save money."

•

•

•

degrading qual ity through vehicular exhaust emiSSions; contributing to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions; and consummg non-renewable resources and fiscal resources.

Natural Resources Canada

Idling can also increase vehicular wear and tear. According to Natural Resources Canada, idling is not an effective way to warm up a vehicle, even in cold weather. Modem engines need no more than 30 seconds of idling on winter days before driving can begin and excessive idling can actually damage engine components including the vehicle ' s cylinders, spark plugs and exhaust system.

Drivers often idle their vehicles while rurming errands, waiting in queues, as well as at pick-up and drop-off zones.

The recent publication of the British Columbia Ministry of the Environment in January 2012 titled: ' 201 1 Inventory of Air Quality Bylaws in British Columbia' covering vehicle idling, open burning and wood burning appliances (full text of the report is available at http://www.bcairquality.calreports/pdfslbylaws-20 11 .pdf) includes the following:

• BC Emission Sources in 2009 showed that:

3537567

o 31 .23% of volati le organic compounds (VOC) are from Transportation;

o 66.01% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are from Transportation;

o the reaction ofVOC and NOx emissions produce ground level ozone (03); and

o ground level ozone is a health damaging air pollutant linked to respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis;

CS - 42

May 15, 2012 , -~ -

• the total number of vehicle idling bylaws enacted by Be municipalities as of 2011 totalled 46 - an increase of 170% over the 2007 total of 17; and

• 24% of Be municipalities have vehicle idling bylaws covering more than 50% of the province ' s population.

City 0/ Richmond Actions

Since September 2004, Richmond has embarked on initiatives to reduce unnecessary idling, both corporately and within the Richmond community. Key initiatives include:

• Fleet Operations Idle-Free Educational Initiative; • City of Richmond and Richmond School District Community Idle-Free Initiatives; • City of Richmond Climate Change Showdown; and

Council's Sustainable Green Fleet Policy # 2020.

These initiatives are described in more detail in Attachment 1.

Effectiveness of a Bylaw Approaclr

The purposes for anti -idling bylaws vary. The first anti-idling bylaw was enacted to address noise. Since then, most bylaws have been enacted in colder climates to target smog reduction with more recent bylaws being introduced as a control measure for greenhouse gas (GHO) emissions which would be the situation in Richmond.

Within Richmond, enforcement staff frequently discovers vehicles id ling unnecessarily on public streets and on City-owned property including large transports, dump trucks, taxis and charter buses. The availability of an enforcement too l such as a clear and effective bylaw would assist as a deterrent in these instances.

A summary of the bylaws implemented in British Columbia is provided in Attachment 2. Key observations include:

• the perceived value of a bylaw as an opportunity to engage people in constructive dialogue and inform them about the impacts of idling;

• anti-idling bylaws are viewed predominately as an effective tool to promote voluntary compliance when enforcement is undertaken; and

• a strong educational campaign associated with the launch of a clear and effective bylaw is viewed as a fundamental component for achieving significant results.

While some municipalities across Canada have considered passing id ling control bylaws but have elected not to implement a regulatory structure, this decision has largely been based on the perception that anti -idling bylaws are difficult to enforce and that the focus of resources on education is expected to achieve greater results.

However, there is a wide range of opinions that exists on the relative value of voluntary versus regulatory approaches for promoting idle-free behaviour. Advantages of implementing a bylaw include:

3S37567 CS - 43

May 15,20 12 - 4 -

1. an additional degree of seriousness and legitimacy is afforded to the issue of idling; 2. an opportunity to conduct an enforcement blitz is created; and 3. an opportunity to engage in building community awareness is provided.

The ability to conduct effective enforcement is a key concern. According to a recent study conducted by Natural Resources Canada which reviewed the effectiveness of municipal bylaws, there are a number of problematic elements with implementing anti-idling bylaws. Key challenges, as revealed by this study and insight provided by neighbouring municipalities, include:

• effective enforcement on a complaint basis is not practical - drivers of idling vehicles have most often moved from the scene by the time an enforcement officer can attend;

• municipal departments do not have sufficient resources to address new anti-idling bylaw enforcement activities except as an add-on to existing parking and traffic safety patrols;

• bylaws alone are likely to be ineffective and need to be accompanied by a high-profile public education campaign; and

• a concerted effort is required to effectively develop and implement idle-control bylaws.

Some effective campaigns have included targeted signage at local schools and community centres to remind drivers to limit their vehicle idling. City staff will be exploring such a program to augment the launch of the proposed bylaw enhancements.

Resource i mplIcts for Implementing Anti-Idling BylllWS

The City's Community Bylaws Division considers that any full-time enforcement of an anti idling bylaw within its existing resources would impact its ability to carry out its current duties and responsibilities. For example, enforcement of an anti-idling bylaw as a stand-alone program would be relatively time-consuming as an officer would need to observe each potential offence over the prescribed time, and this would detract from the time available to devote to existing duties.

However, as an additional tool within existing parking and safetylliability patrols, school safety patrols and Canada Line patrols, the bylaw enhancements would be very effective with no financial impact except for the unpredictable revenue from any violations that may be issued.

Analysis

Effectiveness of Current City of Richmond Action

The City of Richmond has undertaken various successful initiatIves that support anti-idling behaviour and with limited impact on existing resources. In particular, the City has made strong strides in placing its own house in order, with both the implementation of a corporate awareness program and implementation of a formal policy prohibiting urmecessary corporate idling through the City's Sustainable Green Fleet policy.

The City's fleet initiatives include:

3537567 CS - 44

May 15,2012 - 5 -

• anti-idling education and expectations as part of driver training, orientation and assessment programs;

• incorporation of energy-efficient LED lighting into specifications for new vehicles to reduce the draw on battery power and the idling of vehicles when emergency lighting is employed; and

• planned attempts to incorporate alternate battery technology for operating auxi liary equipment as the cost of such technology declines.

Options A vailablefor Riclrmolld

Option 1 - Continue Present Level oflntcrnal Anti~Idling Initiatives (Not recommended)

While the City should be recognized for the internal efforts and initiatives to date, which are outlined in Attachment t, additional steps can be taken to morc effectively deal with unnecessary idling and the level ofGHG produced within the City limits.

Option 2- Implement: • An Enhanced Program to Augment Internal Initiatives and Promote

Public Education and Awareness; and • An Effective and Cost-Effective Regulatory Framework (Recommemled)

Enhanced Program to Augment Internal Initiatives and Promote Public Education and Awareness

Research indicates that public education and dialogue is a critical component of any approach aimed at reducing the impacts of vehicle idling in a community. Staff believes that an enhanced education and community awareness campaign is an important step towards changing public behaviour with regard to vehicle idling.

Accordingly, it is statT's recommendation that the City continue to adhere to and enhance its existing Sustainable Green Fleet Policy, which prohibits unnecessary idling and supports the development of partnerships to raise awareness and foster anti -idling behaviour in the community.

Proposed considerations to enhance the City's present approach include:

• strengthening of community awareness through web site development; to be led by the City' s Transportation Division and undertaken within existing program resources;

• enhancement of the City' s Climate Change Showdown initiative;

coordination of a dedicated signage program with City departments and agencies to highlight the necessity to reduce the unnecessary idling of vehicles; and

• providing a recap of these initiatives and regulations, for infonnation, to the City's Traffic Safety Advisory Committee which includes Richmond School Board, Transportation Division, ICBC, RCMP and Community Bylaws Division.

May 15,2012 -6-

Anti-Idling Regulation & Enforcement

Staff recommends implementation of anti-idling enhancements at this time to the City's Traffic Bylaw No 5870 and Parking (Off-Street) Regulation Bylaw No 7403, as well as amendments to the City's Notice of Bylaw Violations Dispute Adjudication Bylaw No 8122 to define infractions and representative fines, due to the following considerations:

• it is expected that, in concert with public awareness initiatives, the existence of a bylaw deterrent will result in greater benefits with respect to air quality improvement;

• these additional regulations and their enforcement would only apply to City-owned or controlled property as outlined in the respective bylaws;

• the enforcement of an effective anti-idling bylaw in concert with existing traffic and parking patrols would be cost-effective and would not require any additional resources or affect other existing duties;

• an anti-idling bylaw is not difficult to enforce as a final alternative; and

• an anti-idling bylaw would naturally compliment and support the City's enhanced public educational and awareness programs.

Financial Impact

None.

Conclusion

Unnecessary vehicle idling is generally considered to be a negative behaviour that contributes to atmospheric destabilization and significantly degrades air quality. To date, the City of Richmond has undertaken strong leadership action, establishing a comprehensive anti-idling policy for fleet operations and supporting community action in partnership with other Richmond departments and agencies.

Over the last few years, Canadian municipalities in growing numbers have taken action to support idle-free behaviour and discourage unnecessary vehicle idling. Generally, action has involved the joint implementation of an educational campaign designed to raise awareness and inspire action and a complimentary bylaw regulating such unwanted activity.

This report concludes that there is merit in implementing an anti-idling bylaw in Richmond and concludes that this would aid existing momentum in place through current educational-based initiatives in Richmond and provide a more effective opportunity for promoting and advancing idle-free behaviour in Richmond's residents, businesses and visitors.

Attachment I

City of Richmond: Anti-Idling Education and Awareness Action Initiatives

Action by the City of Richmond on anti-idling began in 2004 with initial corporate efforts aimed at reducing City fuel use. City action has since grown to include inter-departmental coordinated action and partnerships with the broader Richmond community aimed at realizing the suite of health, financial and environmental benefits. An overview description of the main City action initiatives to date is provided below.

City's Fleet Operations Idle-Free Initiative

The City's Fleet Operations Idle-Free Initiative was initiated in 2004 to reduce unnecessary idling of City fleet vehicles as part of an overall fuel reduction plan. The idle-free initiative targeted all drivers operating vehicles out of the City's works yard and educated drivers about the air quality and health impacts associated with vehicle emissions. The City of Richmond was recognized by the Fraser Basin Counci l as a regional pioneer of idle-free initiatives.

City of Richmond and Richmond School District Community Idle-Free Initiative

Building on the success of the idle-free program at the City's Works Yard, City staff partnered with Richmond School District #38 staff to co-ordinate a Pilot Idle-Free Program involving two Richmond secondary schools in 2005. This Pilot Program was an initiative under the Richmond Conununity One-Tonne Challenge.

Since 2006, the Pilot Program has evolved, involving a greater number of students and more schools. By 2007, sufficient momentum had been built that the School District was able to continue the idle-free initiative without City support.

City of Richmond Climate Change Showdown

The Climate Change Showdown, delivered by the non-profit BC Sustainable Energy Association, is an innovative workshop taught throughout the province in elementary schools to help students learn about climate change through games and activities. This program also includes a month-long take-home challenge for students and their families to reduce energy use and GHG emissions at home. Individuals and classes are then eligible to win prizes based on the amount of GHGs reduced.

City of Richmond Sustainable Green Fleet Policy

In 2006, the City adopted a Sustainable Green Fleet Policy #2020 aimed at achieving the highest, most cost-effective and sustainable fleet performance and ultimately best value for the City of Richmond. The policy identifies best practices to be used for fleet management, including fonnally estab li shes an anti-idling performance requirement for City operations.
