Register Your Bike with Project 529

Project 529 is a BC bike registration and recovery program that makes it easier for people to get their bikes back if they’re stolen. More than 70,000 bikes have been recovered in Vancouver through the program.

Block Watch

Block Watch is all about neighbours looking out for each other. Get to know the people on your block or in your complex or building, and learn how you can prevent crime from happening in your neighbourhood.

Project Access

Project Access allows property managers and strata corporations to voluntarily ensure access for police through the building’s intercom security panel when there are potentially life-threatening and urgent incidents.

Cell Phones for Seniors

The VPD offers free cellphones to seniors in need to enhance their safety. The phones make outgoing calls to 911 only and cannot receive incoming calls or texts. They are easy to operate, and there is no monthly cost.

Trespass Prevention Program

Vancouver Police receive many calls from business owners and residents about trespassers impacting the safe and lawful use and enjoyment of their property. This can include encampments, substance use, or blocking access for residents, customers, and employees.

Multi-residential and commercial property owners who sign up for the Trespass Prevention Program give police officers the authority to come on to their property and engage with trespassers. It eliminates the need for property owners to contact police and request they attend to enforce any BC Trespass Act infractions.

Vancouver SHIELD

Vancouver SHIELD is a partnership between public and private sectors to strengthen Vancouver against terrorism, violent extremism and other threats. The program increases public safety by giving security-minded organizations and groups information and support to help them in their crime prevention efforts, with a focus primarily on property crime and how to recognize and report suspicious activity.

The goal is to increase the public and private sectors’ safety awareness, strengthen security partnerships, and enhance resources and information sharing.
