Things to consider

1 ) Learn more about the Trespass Prevention Program - Vancouver Police Department (vpd.ca)

2 ) If something seems unusual or out of place, follow your instincts and report it to the police. Suspicious activity could include:

someone peering into cars and windows
a stranger who looks to have no purpose for being in the neighbourhood

3 ) If you encounter someone experiencing an episode, please maintain distance and contact the appropriate number. DO NOT engage - we understand that these cases can be problematic, but we do not wish you to put yourself in potential harm's way. Let the professionals & specialists handle the situation.

4 ) If it is life-threatening, dial 9-1-1, otherwise, contact Paladin Security or the "non-urgent" line.

5 ) Always report! If you encounter a distressed situation but dismiss it, someone else becomes the victim.

Thank you!
