The Vancouver Police Department has been dedicated to going beyond the call in keeping Vancouverites safe since 1886. We have adapted and evolved over the years, but our goal and our dedication remains the same.
The VPD is a diverse, innovative, and award-winning police department. We serve Vancouver's citizens, business owners, and visitors, guided by our principles of integrity, compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence. We provide unique and rewarding opportunities that come with policing in a multi-cultural and international port city, and the support to excel, both personally and professionally.
Since 2015, Chief Constable Adam Palmer has led the sworn and civilian employees of the Vancouver Police Department. At his side are three Deputy Chief Constables, each leading their own Division: DCC Howard Chow, DCC Steve Rai, and DCC Fiona Wilson.
As of June 2021, the VPD has 412 civilian professionals and 1,348 sworn officers.
