🎃 No tricks, just a few tips for a safe Halloween! Keep safety part of the plan: be safe, be seen, know your local fireworks restrictions and make responsible choices. Watch our video for a few reminders before heading out on Halloween night.

145 km/h in a 70 zone. That’s no small overshoot. This past weekend, one of our officers stopped a driver travelling westbound off the Second Narrows Bridge at 75 km/h over the posted speed limit. The result? A $483 ticket and a 7-day vehicle impound. Getting where you’re going a little faster isn’t worth the risk. At those speeds, things can go wrong in a hurry, and it’s not just your own safety on the line.

With Halloween approaching, the #NorthVan RCMP is issuing a reminder to residents of fireworks restrictions and urging safe and responsible behaviour. Link to release: rcmp.ca/en/bc/north-vancouve…

This week, we’re proud to host the Women’s Tactical Advancement Workshop (W-TAC) in #NorthVan. The new pilot initiative brings together women and gender-diverse RCMP officers from across the country who are interested in specialized and tactical policing roles. Over the course of the workshop, participants are getting hands-on experience, connecting with officers already working in specialized roles and learning more about the paths available to them, including what it takes to pursue these opportunities. We’re pleased to be part of an initiative that helps officers see what’s possible in their careers and prepare for what comes next.

We’re honoured to remember them and stand alongside those who continue to carry their memory forward. #BCLEM

At our @RCMPDepot cenotaph, we came together to remember their service, honour their sacrifice and ensure their legacy is never forgotten.

On Monday, one of our motor officers stopped a driver on Main Street for using an electronic device while driving. We’re used to seeing a cell phone in someone’s hand, but this driver decided to level up, holding a tablet with both hands while behind the wheel. The driver was fined $368. The ticket also comes with four demerit points. Your text, email, or next scroll can wait until you reach your destination. Keep both hands where they belong and your eyes on the road. #ArriveAlive

💍 A $50,000 ring, one detailed report, and a perfect Match Recently, a North Vancouver RCMP officer was assisting University RCMP with extra duties on their day off when they received a frantic call from a woman reporting that her wedding ring, featuring a 3-carat diamond and valued at approximately $50,000, had been lost along the Pacific Spirit Trail in Vancouver. The officer took the report and carefully documented a detailed description of the ring. Shortly after, a good Samaritan turned in a ring to the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. While reviewing reports, a civilian employee conducted a search and recognized the description as matching the one from the University RCMP file. The next day, the same officer who had taken the original report was able to reunite the ring with its rightful owner, who was understandably extremely grateful. In this case, it was the attention to detail in that initial report that connected the dots. A good Samaritan found it, a civilian employee recognized the description, and an officer followed through. A great example of how the little details, and a little teamwork, can make a big difference. ❤️💍
