Parks Disturbance Calls

The value of targeted patrols in areas of concern was on display over the past week.  A fight broke out among a group of teens near the basketball courts at Ambleside Park. Officers conducting targeted foot patrols in the area were immediately on scene to quell the disturbance and deal with the participants. If you become aware of gatherings involving disturbance related behaviours, please don’t hesitate to call West Vancouver Police for a response. Alerting our patrol teams to areas of concern also helps prioritize areas for officer’s attention.

Summer & Wildfire Dangers Preparation

We have additional information this week from our partners at North Shore Emergency Management to help you prepare for summer heat & the risks of wildfire, particularly in the interface area between homes & businesses and forested areas of our community.

You are encouraged to install the Alertable app on your smart phone. North Shore Emergency Management uses Alertable to send out alerts for emergencies such as severe weather, disasters, industrial hazards, and transportation accidents or marine spills.

Alerts are also issued if you need to evacuate or shelter-in-place, or if there is an Amber Alert. Notifications are fast, reliable, and easy to see and hear. Alertable is free to download for iOS & Android smartphones.  Click nsem.ca/alertable/ for more information and directions on how to sign up. Take steps now with your neighbours to review your own risk & preparations!
