Celebrating Our Class 12 Cadets

The VPD Cadet Program proudly celebrated the achievements of Class 12, recognizing outstanding cadets through scholarships and awards, including a new VPD Cadet Exemplary Service Award. Thanks to donor support, these remarkable young leaders are building bright futures and 100% of this year's graduating Grade 12 cadets are pursuing post-secondary education!

 VPD Canine Calendars: A Tradition of Giving

Thanks to your support, the 2026 VPD Canine Calendar raised over $12,000, with proceeds shared equally between BC Children's Hospital Foundation and BC Cancer Foundation. Since 2010, this community tradition has raised more than $600,000 to support life-changing care and groundbreaking research across British Columbia. This year's impact was especially meaningful to VPD Constable Vanessa Hallaway, who shares her personal connection in this touching video.

Thank You, VPD 

As Vancouver reflects on an unforgettable FIFA World Cup, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vancouver Police Department and every first responder who helped keep our city safe. Welcoming the world required years of planning, collaboration, and an extraordinary commitment to public safety, culminating in the largest policing deployment in Vancouver's history.
