    RCMP statistics show crime drops in Pemberton

    23.05.12

    A snapshot of crimes and misdemeanors in the Pemberton area in 2011 was offered up by Sgt. Eric Rochette of Pemberton RCMP in the form of the detachment's year-end statistics at the district council meeting on Feb. 21.

    Rochette, joined by Staff Sgt. Steve Leclair of the Whistler detachment, told councillors that the overall trend in crime was going down, especially in terms of acts of violence and in prisoners taken into custody.

    The numbers of prisoners held at the Pemberton detachment dropped by half, from 463 in 2010 to 234 in 2011. These numbers included prisoners from the Stl'atl'imx Tribal Police, which has no prisoner facilities of its own, with the numbers dropping from 222 (48 per cent of prisoners held) in 2010 to 94 (40 per cent of prisoners held).

    "The large number is related to liquor offences," Rochette said. "I tell my members that if they can find a family member (of the prisoner) to take control of that person they should do this."
