Building and maintaining positive relationships with youth is a priority for the Burnaby RCMP. A variety of resources are available in our community to help and support youth and their families.

The Burnaby RCMP also encourages parents and caregivers to visit the City of Burnaby’s Supporting Youth webpage, which includes videos, information, and resources focused on preventing youth involvement in gang and gun violence.

Youth-related resources available through the Burnaby RCMP include:

Burnaby Gang Enforcement Team (BGET):

Burnaby launched its own gang enforcement team in January 2021. The team works seven days a week with the goal of disrupting and deterring gang activity. In addition to investigations and enforcement, officers are involved in gang prevention education and referrals to community partners, such as Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit’s (CFSEU) End Gang Life program.

Burnaby RCMP Youth Section:

Members of Burnaby RCMP’s Youth Section work closely with young people across Burnaby, focusing on crime prevention, education, and early intervention, while addressing safety concerns involving youth. Youth Section members work closely with community partners, including the Burnaby School District, providing an approachable presence in schools and in the community. The Youth Section also works to create positive relationships with young people through its own initiatives such as its annual soccer camp and youth academy.
