NEW!! VILLAGE WEST PROJECT: AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN WEST VANCOUVER

The Village West project is set to start occupancy in December 2025, offering significantly subsidized or reduced rents from market value. This development is designed to make West Vancouver an even more desirable place to live and work. Located just a 5-minute drive from the West Vancouver Police Headquarters and across the street from the largest recreation facility in West Vancouver, Village West is an ideal location for residents and employees alike.

STRONGER TOGETHER

Through a multitude of professional resources, Critical Incident Stress Management and Peer Support programs, we approach health and wellness holistically where total health is addressed through a perspective of resilience at the individual level.

EXPERIENCE FROM CONFIDENCE

We believe that the right training makes all the difference. We have invested in state-of-the-art training tools, such as VIRTRA, a virtual training simulator, to ensure our officers are equipped to deal with any situation. Our instructors are nationally and internationally accredited and are constantly evaluating best practices. We are open to change, and we encourage collaboration and discussion with our officers when it comes to their training and professional growth.

SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES WITH HONOUR AND RESPECT

Our Mission, Excellence in Response and Investigation for a safe West Vancouver, is all about making the right choices in the present, so that our future community is united and safe, a place where younger generations can thrive. We recognize that a strong connection with our community is essential, and we know that without their support, we will not be successful in our mission.

“We strive to hire people who are focused on community based policing and who want to make a meaningful difference for the people who live and work in West Vancouver.”

- JOHN LO, CHIEF CONSTABLE
