Last week was a proud moment for VicPD as we officially welcomed Class 180 - the largest recruit class in our recent history.
These new recruits are stepping forward to serve the communities of Victoria and Esquimalt with courage, integrity, and commitment, and we could not be more excited to support them as they begin their policing journey!
Policing is about people, relationships, and service to community. Last week marked the beginning of that commitment for each of these future officers.
Please help us congratulate Class 180! We are proud to welcome you to the VicPD family.

Today, on Mother’s Day, we want to recognize and thank all of the moms serving our communities with pride every single day.
Whether working on the front lines, supporting critical operations behind the scenes, or balancing the demands of policing and family life, your dedication does not go unnoticed.
At VicPD, women make up over 50% of our membership. Their leadership, compassion, resilience, and commitment help shape our organization and strengthen the communities we serve.

Nightshift officers responded to numerous high priority calls and alcohol related incidents over the weekend.
Patrol officers attended a local pub after receiving a report of a highly intoxicated person at the establishment. Members were confronted by the person upon arrival, resulting in the deployment of an intermediate weapon. The person was taken into custody, held until sober, and released on court appearance documents.
The Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) was deployed numerous times over the weekend.
Police received a report of a person holding a gun in the 700 block of Broughton St. The RPAS was deployed. The person was located and the gun was determined to be a lighter. Reminder: Police treat all firearm calls as real until confirmed otherwise.
Members accompanied the Victoria Fire Department for a building evacuation due to a report of a fire.
Officers responded to a report of a bag being stolen from a local restaurant. During member attendance, the victim reported her credit cards being used. Officers attended the location where the cards were being used and arrested two people related to the theft/ fraud. Police recovered and returned the stolen bag and its contents.
