'Officers On The Beat' - Fits With North Vancouver

Darpan, 16 Jun, 2016 01:57 PM
    For the sixth year in a row the North Vancouver RCMP are committing to conducting foot patrols in the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The project has been termed "LOLO" and is supported and funded by the City of North Vancouver.
     
    The main goal of this community policing initiative is to lower crime rates by utilizing uniformed foot patrols in areas that receive a higher number of calls for police attendance. Typical concerns in this area include disturbances, panhandling, open liquor, drug use and mischief. The actual crime statistics indicate this area remains very safe for both residents and pedestrians.
     
    Uniformed officers are specifically assigned to work "LOLO" as a two person foot patrol team. Patrols are deployed during peak periods of call for service. The project operates from the end of April to the end of October. Both business owners and residents alike are supportive of the "officer on the beat" approach as it enhances the feeling of safety and security.
     
    The "LOLO" initiative is an integral part of the 2016 to 2018 North Vancouver RCMP Service Plan whose goal is safer homes and safer communities through targeted, strategic crime reduction and safety enhancement.
     
    Our officers enjoy the opportunity to get out of their patrol vehicles and walk the streets of our community, said Insp. Jennifer Hyland, Officer in Charge of Operations. While walking the beat, officers appreciate the contacts and conversations they encounter.
