Victoria Police

Today, we came together as a department to remember former VicPD members who served in the Canadian Armed Forces, honour those who lost their lives in service, and thank the colleagues we work alongside today who have served.

There is something meaningful about taking this time together.

As we prepare to stand alongside our communities on Remembrance Day tomorrow, we’re grateful for the chance to pause with one another and reflect on the people behind that service, the families who supported them, and the lives they lived.

Lest we forget.

#WeRemember #WeAreVicPD

A quick response and the sharp eye of a Victoria Police Department (VicPD) Patrol officer led to the recovery of approximately $30,000 in stolen jewellery and its return to a downtown business.

Earlier today, VicPD officers responded to a reported threat in the area of George Jay Elementary School.

Officers, supported by VicPD’s Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), responded swiftly to assess the situation. As a precaution, the school was placed in lockdown to ensure the safety of students and staff.

Officers have since determined there is no imminent risk to public safety. The lockdown has been lifted, and all classes have been safely released.

We thank students, staff, families and the surrounding community for their patience and cooperation as we worked to ensure everyone's safety.
