The Grandview-Woodland Community Policing Centre (GWCPC) is a Non-profit Organization dedicated to providing crime prevention assistance and education to the Commercial Drive corridor and surrounding area. Members of the community are encouraged, through education and engagement in volunteering with the GWCPC, to become active participants for increasing safety awareness and decreasing opportunities for crime to occur. Along with the local community, Vancouver Police Department, and other service providers we aim to strengthen the safety and quality of life in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, in accordance with the core principles of community policing: • Communication and Collaboration, internally with the VPD and other CPC’s, and externally through community outreach in partnership with other agencies and service providers in the neighbourhood • Advocacy, through presenting police services in a positive manner and actively working to support the community’s most vulnerable • Patrol Support, to promote proactive policing, encourage crime prevention and direct relevant referrals to other community services
