Only two more days to go before the 2026 Cops For Cancer Tour de Coast!

Starting Friday morning, WVPD riders Det/Cst.Tschritter and Cst. Harriman will embark on the Tour de Coast – an eight day journey through the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast and Powell River in support of youth facing cancer.

Funds raised help the Canadian Cancer society drive groundbreaking pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes – a medically supported recreation program that provides youth facing cancer and their families a summer camp experience during treatment.

Students are back to school tomorrow morning! With roads throughout West Vancouver expected to be busier than usual, let’s work together to make the start of school safer for everyone.

Drivers, remember to:

✅ Follow school zone speed limits: 30 km/hr maximum

✅ Use designated pick-up and drop-off zones

✅ Keep intersections open and don’t block access to alleys and driveways

✅ Put the phone away and minimize distractions

Kids will be excited so anticipate unpredictable behaviour!

Parents can help set good habits early by using crosswalks and teaching responsible pedestrian behaviour. We all have a part to play in keeping our members safe!

Excessive Speeding Leads to Vehicle Impound and Steep Fines

Last night, West Vancouver Police stopped a vehicle travelling 160 km/hr on Cypress Bowl Road. That’s 100 km/hr over the speed limit, on a winding road, in the dark, with wildlife observed in the area.

Driving at this rate of speed drastically reduces the driver’s ability to react to conditions, hazards, and other road users, dramatically increasing the risks for serious harm. 

Consequences for this driver included:

🔴  7-day vehicle impound
🔴  $483 violation ticket
🔴  ICBC demerit points

Speed limits exist to protect everyone – including our local wildlife. Please slow down. enforcement on our roads continues.

Police Service Dog Koa | January 30, 2013 - August 20, 2026

The West Vancouver Police Department is saddened to announce the passing of retired police dog Koa.

An exceptional police dog, Koa served the people of West Vancouver from 2015 to 2021. Alongside his handler and partner, Constable Petrie, Koa was an important part of the WVPD family, serving with unwavering energy, enthusiasm, and bravery. Together, Koa and Cst. Petrie were an incredible asset to the department and to the community they served. 

Koa was also a devoted family member, demonstrating great gentleness and loyalty, and brought so much joy to those who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

Thank you, West Vancouver, for joining us in honouring PSD Koa’s service and legacy.
