Early last fall, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) started an initiative called the Trespass Prevention Pilot Project, which allowed VPD officers to take proactive measures in removing trespassers from private properties without the need for service calls or direct involvement from an owner or property representative. This program began as a pilot project which included properties between the 600 and 1200 blocks of Granville Street, along with selected adjacent properties where street disorder and trespassing incidents were most prevalent.
The VPD has been given the green light to enter the next phase of the Trespass Prevention Program, which includes a downtown-wide rollout. Any business or strata in the downtown core is able to register. If you are interested, contact Constable Woods at trespasspreventionprogram@vpd.ca for additional information.
