North Vancouver RCMP

This #RedDressDay, we came together at the Strength & Remembrance Pole to reflect on the lives and legacies of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. May 5 is a time to pause, remember and recommit to listening, learning, and standing alongside Indigenous communities. We are grateful to everyone who joined us, and we remain committed to this work through ongoing training, strengthening relationships, and continued engagement with the communities we serve.

Thinking about riding an e-bike around #NorthVan? Here’s what you should know before you hop on. Riders must be at least 14 for light e-bikes and 16 for standard models. Light e-bikes are pedal-assist only, capped at 250W, and can’t exceed 25 km/h. For all motor assisted cycles, the rules are simple: No more than 500W, no speeds over 32 km/h, and the motor must stop when you stop pedalling or hit the brakes. Curious if your ride makes the cut? Join us this Friday, May 8, for our E-Mobility Safety Blitz from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Lonsdale Quay Seabus Terminal and chat with our team.

Did you know the minimum age to ride an e-scooter is 16? With the rise in popularity of e-scooters in our community, it's important to be aware of the rules and regulations before purchasing one. Join us for an e-mobility safety blitz this Friday (May 8) from 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at Lonsdale Quay Seabus Terminal to learn more.

Today, we remember those who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill because of their work. This day is about all workers. In policing, our members are mindful of the risks that can come with the job as they serve their communities. On the National Day of Mourning, the #NorthVan RCMP recognizes the realities faced by first responders and the lasting impact workplace tragedies have on families, friends, and colleagues.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of an OPP officer killed in the line of duty in Cobourg. Our heartfelt condolences go to the officer’s loved ones and to the OPP family. The RCMP stands with you during this difficult time.

The #NorthVan RCMP is pleased to confirm that the 27-year-old man reported missing on February 22 has been located, and he is safe and sound. The RCMP thanks the media and public for their assistance.

Hey, #NorthVan. We’re currently dealing with a technical systems issue affecting our Front Counter services that is expected to persist through the weekend. We appreciate your patience and understanding while this is resolved. As always, you can reach us 24/7 on our non-emergency line at 604-985-1311, or call 911 in an emergency.

Wednesday night officers stopped this L driver travelling 175 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Hwy 1. Their excuse for the speed? Because they were in a rush to get home. That rush earned them an immediate impound, a hefty ticket, a likely licence suspension, and a long walk back to reality. Choices like this put their life, and the lives of others, at serious risk.

This week we said farewell to Romeo after 25 years with the @CityOfNorthVan Facilities Department at the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. Known for his dedication, strong work ethic, and ever-present smile, Romeo was one of the many behind-the-scenes staff who worked tirelessly every day to support our team. Thank you for your years of service, Romeo, and all the best in your well-earned retirement.

We came together last night at @seymourgolf to recognize the people who give their time to support our community, our Road Safety, Block Watch, and Auxiliary Program volunteers. During #NationalVolunteerWeek, it was a chance to pause and acknowledge the steady, behind the scenes work they do, along with a number of meaningful service milestones. To everyone who has volunteered with us, whether recently or over many years, thank you. Your time and commitment help strengthen safety and connection across #NorthVan, and it does not go unnoticed. #ThankYou

The 74-year-old man who was reported missing yesterday has sadly been found deceased. His death is not believed to be suspicious. The North Vancouver RCMP extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who are grieving this loss. Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time. 💔

Five complaints over weekend highlight growing concerns over illegal e‑dirt bikes. Officers have taken an education‑first approach, as these bikes are relatively new, but enforcement will be increased for those who repeatedly violate the rules. Link to release: bit.ly/48OIzf1

Do you or your kids own an electric motorcycle, also known as an e-dirt bike? These vehicles are NOT street legal. We’ve received reports of youth riding them on public roads, often in a dangerous manner that puts themselves and others at risk. Know the rules before you buy. Scan the QR code for more details.

This is one example of what not to do after buying your first vehicle. After the purchase, a learner driver was found driving without a qualified supervisor, without displaying an “L” sign, and with their rear licence plate improperly displayed. They were stopped by a traffic officer and ticketed for all three offences. A reminder that learning the rules is just as important as learning to drive.

Temporary road closure notice from Tsleil-Waututh Nation this morning. Please follow the directions of our officers during traffic control.
