Another symptom of Victoria’s under-funding of its police force materializes:
Front Desk Hours Of Operation To Be Reduced June 17th
Victoria, BC – Citizens seeking service at VicPD’s headquarters are being notified of an upcoming change in our front desk hours.
On June 17th, VicPD’s service hours at the front desk of our 850 Caledonia Avenue headquarters will be reduced to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. The front desk and lobby area will be closed on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays. This change is consistent with other public agencies and part of a series of service adjustments the department is undertaking to better realign our services with our resources.
After hours non-emergency reporting can be made by calling our non-emergency line at (250) 995-7654, or by using our online crime reporting service: https://vicpd.ca/reportcrimeonline.
VicPD Esquimalt Division front desk hours are unaffected by this change.
So because Ben and his 4 disciples decided one day, while they were playing at Grown-up Government, that Policemen Are All Bad, now we are seeing even less and less access to services citizens need in our increasingly scary city. Can we please elect some representatives who have at least the most basic grasp of the concepts of public service and compassion?
