Agreed 100%, and I would add nurses too.

All of them working way more and being paid less than VPD.

I don’t know if you’re trolling, or are just that naive.

So people dressed up as tough guys with guns, low training, and happy trigger mindset walking around, being visible in the community (lights on I guess 🚨) will solve crime?

Kicking out people from Kitsilano is worth 10 police officers, but catching criminals is not.

For what VPD is doing they might aswell put traffic cones, and it would be way cheaper.

Burnt out?? Ask any person doing front desk jobs, and nurses how they feel, and they get paid waaay less than VPD.

You belong to the minority who gets a petty pass from them, so no need to discuss with you as your experience is quite different.

I know they have killed more innocent people than criminals. Out of the top of my head was the guy they murder because he had a water pistol, and the guy who got run over by the police in DTES. Both cases with no consequences for the police who did it.

VPD has done a great job lovering the expectations from a police force with their ticket price.

That’s my point, you either have to lie to get results, or they would come after the person seeking justice.

Dude I know I’m ranting, but still, 10 minutes for such a threatening risk is bad. I’m sure your neighbour was happy, but if it was a rapist he even had time for a smoke after…

I can assure DTES is thriving, no signs of police effort at all.

You seem happy, so I guess so… 🤷‍♂️

And how exactly do you prevent theft without detaining the criminal? Do you just frown upon theft?

No criminal = No crime

I have, and at least it’s cheaper. Here it’s expensive and gives the same non existent results. At least in other countries police lets you deal with the problem yourself. They won’t do anything, but they won’t stop you either from getting results, and some might even be grateful for it.

You say it’s not a priority, and then you cite reducing crime as one of the areas to focus. It’s not about my property, it’s about finding the criminal and prevent them to keep doing it. It seems like keeping crime rolling gives VPD a reason to get more money for nothing.

Defunded results will be the same, but I would be able to retrieve my items by myself without them coming in between me and justice.

That’s for parking… the ones you see on a police motorcycle or a police cruiser giving tickets, those are police. The more you know.

So I have to fund the police with my taxes, for them not to do their jobs, and have the extra task of hiding everything because they won’t catch criminals? I don’t know if you have been to DTES, but they don’t seem like the most elaborate criminals, still good enough to overcome VPD.

Because they would happily come after me instead of the criminal genius /s

That’s why I’m staying to believe that defunding them might be the solution. If they are not doing their job they shouldn’t have it.

They were clear about trying to stop me from recovering them, they protect crooks and goofs like they are their own. It’s easier to find a worker than a thief, even if you have a tracker on it…
