Our Office is located at 6070 East Boulevard in Kerrisdale. We are a non-profit organization that works in partnership with ICBC and the Vancouver Police Department.
Our Community Policing Office is a place where our volunteers and police officers can work with the residents, business owners and the community to work on crime prevention planning and discuss concerns. Our foot, bike patrol and office coordinators work to organize community patrols and crime prevention programs in the community.
Constable Shayne Savage works fulltime as our Neighbourhood Police Officer (NPO) and can regularly be found patrolling our area.

Bait Locker Program
The Bait Locker program was first started by two volunteers at the Port Coquitlam RCMP Community Policing Station, Brianne Thauvette and Ryan Keefe. While working at their summer jobs as lifeguards, they noticed a higher than average rate of locker break-ins. With the support of their Community Policing Centre an idea was hatched to place alarms in lockers as a way to deter thieves.Please click here to view the whole article about this program.

Strategic Plan for KOMCPC’s “Operation Anti-Graffiti?Program
The purpose of the KOM CPC’s “ANTI-GRAFFITI?program is to service the various businesses within the KOM (Kerrisdale, Oakridge and Marpole) and to remove graffiti. Our volunteers will help the community to reduce and eliminate another criminal element in our three areas. We need the manpower of cooperative, responsible volunteers to arrange a certain time and location to help the victims. The City provides all paint, namely, white, black terra cotta, beige, gray and green. However, if the owner wishes to match the exact colour of the paint, the owner of the property must provide the paint. The volunteers or KOM CPC will not be held responsible for any poor workmanship. The owner of the property must sign a consent form to authorize all volunteers participating on the designated location. Each business will contact our KOM CPC should they need our service. It will be our commitment to wipe out all graffiti.
The City bylaw states that all owners of property must remove graffiti within ten days of notification. After the grace period, the City will then remove the graffiti and bill the owners. The time period will give us sufficient time to call all interested volunteers.

The contact at KOM CPC is 604 717-3434 for Tony Bulic, KOM CPC coordinator and his assistant, Joanne Wong.
Private residences may contact the City for a free paint kit to remove graffiti twice a year.
Call 604 873-7798For any building in excess of ten (10 ) feet in height we cannot wipe out the graffiti for safety reasons.
A sign up list for the Anti-Graffiti program will be posted at the KOM office. There will be three contingency teams:
Team K for Kerrisdale, Team O for Oakridge and Team M for Marpole.
Once we have been contacted, a team of volunteers will be mobilized at the KOM office to pick up the paint supplies.To some, Graffiti is an art or expression; to the owners of properties, it is a criminal offence, causing defacement to property. Owners of graffiti art repeat their offences, so to remove graffiti with expediency takes away the thrill from the perpetrators.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Donna Chan, interim team captain for “Operation Anti-Graffiti?Program.
