VPD Canines hate flees
Two violent armed robbery suspects in a stolen car have been taken off the street thanks to tremendous teamwork between patrol & canine.

ScanBC is BC’s online radio scanning community. The community collects and shares information from police scanners and posts headlines to Twitter and Facebook. Emergency Communications for British Columbia Inc., or E-Comm, has made the switch from old analogue radios to a new encrypted system which scrambles broadcasts. The move was designed to protect sensitive information such as medical conditions or addresses as well as safeguard first responders from criminals listening in. Some broadcasts in certain jurisdictions remain unscrambled.
