About the VPD

Beyond the Call

The Vancouver Police Department will be celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2011. For a century and a quarter the VPD has been keeping residents of Vancouver safe with a combination of innovative crime prevention techniques and old-fashioned police work.

The men and women of the VPD believe in a level of service that routinely goes "Beyond the Call." They embrace standards of performance that include Integrity, Professionalism, Accountability, and Respect (IPAR).
