The
Vancouver Aboriginal Community Policing Centre (VACPC) was developed
to provide a safe place where community members can gather to identify,
discuss, and address justice and safety issues in Vancouver. It
will also serve as a positive link between the Vancouver Aboriginal
community and the Vancouver Police Department (VPD). We will provide
an avenue to engage and support people to better understand and
utilize the services of the VPD and to rebuild a healthier relationship
between the Aboriginal community and the VPD.
The VACPC is a not-for-profit organization that is governed by
an all Aboriginal Board of Directors. Each year there will be an
Annual General Meeting where individuals who become members will
elect new Board members from within the Vancouver Aboriginal community.
