Consider this...

1 ) Join the Trespass Prevention Program - Vancouver Police Department (vpd.ca)

2 ) CCTV System Enhancements: Consider upgrading your CCTV system to include motion sensors. These sensors can alert you to any movement on your property, allowing you to react quickly by contacting security and the VPD.

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

  • Someone is peering into cars and windows
  • A stranger who looks to have no purpose for being in the neighbourhood

4 ) 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.

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

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

Thank you!
