FOOT AND BIKE PATROL

 

Volunteer Patrols respond to citizen inquiries while observing streets, alleys, and parking lots for unlawful actions. They report all suspicious activity as well as issues relating to graffiti and garbage. Volunteers receive direction from the NPO (Neighbourhood Police Officer) and staff to respond to District Priorities and  weekly crime statistics provided by VPD. 

Foot & Bike patrollers also conduct vehicle safety audits to inform owners how to protect their vehicles from break-in or theft, look for stolen cars using a database of stolen vehicles, and deliver Crime Alerts to communicate with residents in reported crime areas.
