Vancouver Community Policing Centres
Working Together to Make Vancouver Canada’s Safest Major City

Why We Are Different

Vancouver’s ten community policing centres hold a unique position among crime prevention initiatives in North America. Nowhere else have the community and the police force forged such a strong partnership. Unlike their counterparts in other cities, these centres are not satellite police stations, but are actually operated, staffed and governed by members of your community.

Why That Makes a Difference

No one knows their community better than the people who live, work, and play there. When community members with special knowledge and commitment join in partnership with the Vancouver Police Department, it means we can all live more safely and without fear. Any member of the community can make a difference.

How We Are Making a Difference

Each Vancouver Community Policing Centre involves local citizens in partnership with the police. Together they create crime prevention programs and community engagement initiatives to address local crime and safety concerns in their own neighbourhoods. An active community is a safe community.
