RIP Jago. After a 7km track in the bush you still had a enough fight and sacrificed yourself protecting your dad and his 3 cover officers from being shot so that they could celebrate Father’s Day. Never forgotten. You are now home. @RCMPAlberta
The #VPD is saying goodbye to Police Service Dog Cash today, who was diagnosed with a fatal condition earlier this week. Our thoughts are with his handler, Constable Courtney Srigley, and the entire @VPDCanine Unit, as they navigate this loss.
Cash was a six-year-old black and tan German Shepherd from the Netherlands. He served the citizens of Vancouver for over five years with unwavering dedication and heart.
He will be missed.

There should be no conditional sentencing for somebody who stabbed MULTIPLE people.
Also politely asking a mass stabber to not possess any knives is beyond delusional.
Justice is not being done here.

Story describing contents of Massine's report perplexing. He was not at scene & engaging kind of subjective "after the fact" analysis all levels of court, including SCC repeatedly caution against. N/m some of the conclusions seem to be based on factually incorrect assumptions🤦🏻
On January 23, 2006, #VPD Police Service Dog Nitro and his handler, Howard Rutter, were called to assist other officers who had spotted a stolen vehicle. Nitro was released and pursued one of the suspects, who jumped onto a moving train. Nitro latched on, but lost his grip. He did not survive.

The VPD’s newest state-of-the-art vessel was officially christened today. The R.G. McBeath, a custom-designed 45-foot Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB), will strengthen the Marine Unit’s ability to keep Vancouver’s waterways safe.
The vessel honours fallen VPD officer R.G. McBeath, who was killed in the line of duty in 1922.
This important addition to the #VPD fleet was made possible by the generosity of the @VanPoliceFnd.
At the VPD, becoming an officer means joining a dedicated team that comprises more than 100 specialized divisions, each with its unique focus and area of expertise. This is not just a job, it’s a #career.

#VPD Sgt. Schellenberg recounts the harrowing moments when a suspect pointed a gun at his head, fired at his Police Service Dog Jade, and forced him to make a split-second decision that would change everything.

My cousin @Canuckula has received one of the worst diagnoses you can get. If you're able to share to support his young family then bless you. Sending some love would be appreciated too. 💜
Here's to finding the cure for #ALS
