There has never been a better time to join the @VancouverPD. We're #recruiting talented people who are ready to serve with integrity, compassion, and professionalism in one of Canada's most dynamic cities. Recruits will have the unique opportunity to be among the first classes to train at the brand new Vancouver Police Training Academy, helping shape the next generation of policing from day one. If you're looking for a career with purpose, challenge, and opportunity, we want to hear from you. Join our team. Serve your community. Build your future. #FirstClass @VPDRecruiting #JoinVPD

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Vancouver Police Department and the city we serve.
For the first time since 1978, the #VPD will be able to fully develop the next generation of police officers from the day they join us through graduation and into their careers.

Our new Police Academy will provide specialized, hands-on training to prepare recruits for the complex challenges of modern policing, including mental health and addictions, vulnerable populations, violent and organized crime, cybercrime, and public disorder. It allows us to develop recruits using the experience of Vancouver Police officers and to integrate classroom learning with realistic scenarios based on the challenges our members face every day.

We want our officers to meet—and exceed—provincial standards and be ready to serve Vancouver from their very first day on the job.

The success of this Academy won’t be measured by the facility. It will be measured by the quality of the officers who graduate from it.

Great to be at the Vancouver Police Training Academy today to visit Class #1 during Week 6 of Block 1 training.

Proud of the hard work and dedication our recruits are demonstrating every day as they prepare for the responsibilities of policing. Also grateful for the outstanding instructors whose professionalism and commitment are helping develop the next generation of VPD officers.

Keep up the great work. The future looks bright. @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting #FirstClass #PoliceAcademy #RecruitTraining

I was honoured to attend the Forward Foundation Cayford Gala tonight. The strength, resilience, and courage shared by recipients and their families were truly inspiring. Grateful for the remarkable work of #ForwardFoundation in supporting young adults facing life-limiting illnesses and helping them create meaningful moments with loved ones. #CayfordGala #Community #Gratitude @VancouverPD

The badges, bunker gear, and hockey jerseys are coming out! 🚓🚒🏒
@VancouverPD members are proud to join @Canucks veterans, @VanFireRescue and the @PWHL__Vancouver in this year’s Canucks for Kids Fund Charity Game in support of an amazing cause benefiting kids and families in B.C. 
If you're at the game, be sure to cheer on our #VPD players—and if serving your community, working as part of a team, and making a difference appeals to you, consider a career with the Vancouver Police Department.
See you at the rink!
