Victoria Police Department unveils new strategic plan

The Victoria Police Department (VicPD) has introduced a new strategic plan focusing on four primary goals: creating safer communities, building a modern and progressive department, supporting member health and wellness, and securing necessary staffing and resources.

Chief Constable Fiona Wilson stated the plan was developed following a year of community consultation with residents and businesses. The department has also adopted five core values: accountability, humility, showing up, thinking big, and serving exceptionally.

As part of the rollout, VicPD introduced a redesigned fleet featuring Coast Salish wolf artwork by Songhees Elder and master carver Clarence “Butch” Dick. Additionally, the department is exploring the long-term possibility of a unified regional policing model for the South Island to better serve the area.
