North Vancouver RCMP

❤️ Last night, our Community Policing team partnered with @icbc to host an appreciation dinner for our Road Safety Volunteers at @grousemountain. Rain or shine, our volunteers bring a friendly face to road safety initiatives, helping raise awareness and engage the community. Thank you for your time, adaptability and dedication. We’re grateful for everything you do for #NorthVan!

Many thanks to Windsor Secondary for having us at your career fair this morning. Our Youth Support Team and Auxiliary Program Volunteers were delighted to field many thoughtful questions from students interested in learning about RCMP careers. The future is bright for these young leaders. 💡🌟 We're hiring! #JoinOurTeam today.

Last week, our Traffic Unit stopped a driver travelling 172 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone on Highway 1 westbound, 92 km/h over the limit. Their explanation? They were trying to pass traffic to make the Westview exit and the downhill slope apparently helped pick up their speed. The driver received a $483 excessive speeding ticket, a $109 unsafe lane change ticket and a 7-day vehicle impound. Missing an exit isn't worth putting others at risk. Slow down and drive safely.

🎃 Calling all little witches, ghosts and superheroes! Come by the #NorthVan RCMP detachment this Halloween to show off your costume, grab a treat and say hello to your local Mounties and Community Policing volunteers. 👻 📅 Saturday, October 31 | 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. 📍 147 East 14th Street, V7L 2N4 We’d love to see you there! 🎃 🔗 tinyurl.com/8mtxvxmp

🎃 No tricks, just a few tips for a safe Halloween! Keep safety part of the plan: be safe, be seen, know your local fireworks restrictions and make responsible choices. Watch our video for a few reminders before heading out on Halloween night.

145 km/h in a 70 zone. That’s no small overshoot. This past weekend, one of our officers stopped a driver travelling westbound off the Second Narrows Bridge at 75 km/h over the posted speed limit. The result? A $483 ticket and a 7-day vehicle impound. Getting where you’re going a little faster isn’t worth the risk. At those speeds, things can go wrong in a hurry, and it’s not just your own safety on the line.

With Halloween approaching, the #NorthVan RCMP is issuing a reminder to residents of fireworks restrictions and urging safe and responsible behaviour. Link to release: rcmp.ca/en/bc/north-vancouve…

The #NorthVan RCMP is deeply saddened by the loss of four @CanadianForces members in the tragic fire at CFB Wainwright this weekend. Pte. Aidan Goulding, one of the four members who lost their lives, was originally from North Vancouver. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones, and to the families, friends and colleagues of the other members. Our thoughts are also with those injured as they recover, and everyone affected by this tragedy.

The #NorthVan RCMP is warning the public about a scam involving an individual impersonating a peace officer and threatening legal consequences over alleged missed court appearances. Link to release: rcmp.ca/en/bc/north-vancouve…

This week, we’re proud to host the Women’s Tactical Advancement Workshop (W-TAC) in #NorthVan. The new pilot initiative brings together women and gender-diverse RCMP officers from across the country who are interested in specialized and tactical policing roles. Over the course of the workshop, participants are getting hands-on experience, connecting with officers already working in specialized roles and learning more about the paths available to them, including what it takes to pursue these opportunities. We’re pleased to be part of an initiative that helps officers see what’s possible in their careers and prepare for what comes next.

The #NorthVan RCMP is investigating a series of assaults involving victims who were allegedly invited to meet in person through a dating app. Link to release: rcmp.ca/en/bc/north-vancouve…

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour residential school survivors and remember the children who never made it home. Yesterday we were honoured to take part in a ceremony at the Strength & Remembrance Pole to hear from survivors and reaffirm our commitment to meaningful action every day . We are thankful to the witnesses, community leaders, and all those who came together in reflection. #NDTR

This past weekend, we travelled to Victoria for the annual @BCLEMemorial, joining colleagues and community members from across the province to honour those who lost their lives in service to others. We remember their courage, their dedication and the lasting impact they left on their team members, loved ones and communities. We’re honoured to remember them and stand alongside those who continue to carry their memory forward. #BCLEM

The #NorthVan RCMP is pleased to confirm that the 31-year-old woman reported missing on September 20 has been located, and she is safe and sound. The RCMP thanks the media and public for their assistance.

We were honoured to join RCMP members, veterans, families, friends and communities from across Canada at the RCMP National Memorial Service in Regina this past weekend. Held each year on the second Sunday of September, the service honours the 251 RCMP members, civilian members, auxiliary members and special constables who lost their lives in the line of duty. At our @RCMPDepot cenotaph, we came together to remember their service, honour their sacrifice and ensure their legacy is never forgotten.

🚴‍♂️ They’re off! This morning, we were proud to welcome the Cops for Cancer – Tour de Coast riders as they kicked off their eight-day, 700-kilometre journey across Greater Vancouver in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. We’re especially proud of Cst. McMillan and Cst. MacQueen, representing #NorthVan on their first Tour de Coast. After months of training and fundraising, they’re hitting the road to support children and families living with childhood cancer. We’re cheering them on every kilometre of the way! ❤️ Learn more about their fundraising efforts: tinyurl.com/37fdntnc

Yesterday our Community Policing Volunteers, along with our public safety partners, were at the @CapilanoU Street Party to welcome back students for an exciting new school year. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat with us about our road safety initiatives.

🎒📚 It’s #BackToSchool! As kids head back to class, please slow down, stay alert and give yourself a little extra time, especially in school zones. You’ll see increased police presence today and throughout the first few weeks of school as we help keep students, families and staff safe. Here’s to a safe and happy start to the school year! 👋

We were pleased to join students, families and community partners this morning to celebrate the opening of the new Cloverley Elementary School with a fun walk and roll event focused on getting to and from school safely. 🚶‍♀️🚲🛴🚌 Thank you to the @CityOfNorthVan, @TransLink, @icbc, @NVSD44 and our Community Policing team for helping make it a great morning for the school community.

Eyes on the road. Always. No matter the vehicle, please remember to stay alert and focused whenever you’re behind the wheel. 🚔👇
