VPD Bikes

@skinnyonsafety @VancouverPD @TransitPolice @BCHwyPatrol @JDoucette2050 @Canuckula @CstWoods @SgtJPonsioen @DCCDavey @4Echo13 @VPDCanine @VPDTrafficUnit @VPDRecruiting Awesome Aleya…thank you!

It's #NationalPoliceWeek! I've been lucky to work with police in multiple areas, across two western provinces, for 15+ yrs. No matter the uniform, the people underneath never cease to amaze me. Thank you, friends, for all you do! 🥰 @VancouverPD @TransitPolice @BCHwyPatrol

Another reason to #JoinVPD is the opportunity to patrol with us on a bike. Whether it's by road, trail, beach or seawall, we have it all. #ThePlaceToBe @VPDRecruiting

With shorter days and inclement weather we're reminding cyclists to take more care while commuting. #ProTip Make eye contact with drivers and use hand signals to communicate where you want to go. More safety tips: bit.ly/2XbWgOe

A reminder to be safe with the cold weather and shorter days upon us. Remember: - check your bike and equipment - wear appropriate gear for the weather - have a bell as well as rear and front lights More tips before you ride: bit.ly/3AdC44f

On behalf of #VPD our deepest heartfelt condolences to the family, friends & colleagues of #TPS Cst. Andrew Hong & the other victims of violence in today's tragic events in the #GTA @TorontoPolice @jamesramertps @TPAca #LODD #EOW @HeroesInLife @VancouverPD

@kentcclark @CityofVancouver 2/2 Then the city put a bike lane up on Beach Ave and restricted bikes on the seawall from roughly the base of Hornby St to Stanley Park.

Signs signs everywhere a sign! Over the last few weeks @VPDBikes has frequently patrolled areas on the seawall that are clearly marked ‘no bikes.’ Lots of tourists following the sidewalk signs that appear to make it ok. #nowtheyknow

@kentcclark @CityofVancouver 1/2 This is actually a bit of confusing signage. The green pedestrian and bicycle signs were originally put up to differentiate between walking and cycling paths. For safety, not social distancing.

@OutOnPatrolPres @VancouverPD @VanPoliceFnd @VPDTrafficUnit @VPDCadets @StrathCPC And thank you to the @VanPoliceFnd for their generosity! Very much appreciated!

@OutOnPatrolPres @VancouverPD @VanPoliceFnd @VPDTrafficUnit @VPDCadets @StrathCPC Well done Chris! @OutOnPatrolPres and obviously a big thanks to Nathan and Mike and to @VPDTrafficUnit Great job everyone!

That’s a wrap! The inaugural @VancouverPD #StrathconaBikeSmart program is done for the year! Thank you again to @VanPoliceFnd @VPDBikes @VPDTrafficUnit @VPDCadets and @StrathCPC for making it possible! And of course, thank you to the 60+ kids and their families for taking part!

Day 2 of the #StrathconaBikeSmart program is today! Thanks to the @VanPoliceFnd for supporting this free #community event! @StrathCPC @VPDTrafficUnit @VPDBikes @VPDCadets @VancouverPD

#VPDNews: High-risk offender Tony Okanase has been re-arrested by Vancouver Police, after a community policing volunteer spotted him in the city’s Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood this afternoon. Media Release: bit.ly/3w5onlL

Tonight is the night! Make sure you drop by, say hi and pick yourself up a FREE bike light so that you can help “Light the Night Right”.

Multiple people are in hospital with serious injuries, including an armed suspect who was shot by #VPD officers in the 900 block of Granville Street late last evening. More information will be released when it is available. There is no risk to public safety at this time.

@OutOnPatrolPres @SeanVancouver There’s clearly no pleasing everyone in this job. Luckily the kids loved it! And that says everything.

@SeanVancouver We can volunteer in uniform and when we do, we are armed as it’s part of the uniform / there is an expectation to respond in case of an emergency. Sorry to hear our volunteerism isn’t living up to your expectations.

What says summer more than kids on bikes? #VPD officers held the Strathcona Bike Smart recently to teach some bike safety skills to local kids. #VPDCommunity

The first @VancouverPD #StrathconaBikeSmart program has started! The kids are currently getting their free #BikeSafety equipment courtesy of @VanPoliceFnd! Then @VPDBikes will teach them some skills, before @VPDTrafficUnit teach them about rules of the road. Gonna be a great day!

The #BikeSafety equipment has arrived at @VancouverPD for the #StrathconaBikeSmart program! (100 sets of helmets, reflectors, USB lights, bells, an locks). We still have a few spots left for this Friday July 29th! Email BikeSmart@vpd.ca to register! @VanPoliceFnd #BikeSmart

@northshorejoey @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting @VanPoliceFnd The vast majority of people were great!

@VPDBikes @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting @VanPoliceFnd I bet you were busy last night with the return of Celebration of Lights? I hope everyone was nice to all the officers last night. 🚔

Quick fuel up before Celebration Of Lights kick off! Lots of VPD Bikes will be out today with various other Departmental sections. Have fun today and be safe Van City! @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting @VanPoliceFnd

@silvesterlaw @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting @VanPoliceFnd @VPDHorses They sure were!

@VPDBikes @VancouverPD @VPDRecruiting @VanPoliceFnd I hope @VPDHorses is out too.
