WHAT IS COMMUNITY
POLICING
Community policing is a partnership
between the Community and the Vancouver Police Department
(VPD) which solves problems related to crime and safety
issues in neighbourhoods throughout Vancouver. Community
Policing Centres (CPCs) throughout the city provide to the
general public a broad array of services and assistance
programs such as crime prevention information, community
forums, and citizens patrols.
There are currently 9 Community Policing Centres in the City
of Vancouver.

Please visit our Community Policing
page for more information on CPC's and to find the nearest
CPC to you!
CPCs operate
mainly in part to the kindness and generosity of volunteers
and this represent a tremendous return to the citizens of
Vancouver. If you are interested in volunteering,
contact the CPC in your area for more information.
Qualifications for volunteering varies from CPC to CPC, but
you must be 19 years of age and be subject to a criminal
record check.
