    More weapons and break-in instruments seized off of 2 chronic property offenders. Another replica gun found in their 'toolkit'. Far too often, we're seeing these pulled on victims when they confront offenders.

    We're so lucky to have amazing partners in public safety. Just saw walking with a woman they were treating and her dog.

    Responded to an assault on a building resident last night. Man kicked, punched, bit one of our officers and reached for 1 of 2 knives he was carrying before he was taken into custody. DYK assaults against officers are up 20%.

    Another example last night where a fake handgun is used to commit a real crime.

    : An alert citizen helped police catch a suspected robber Thursday night after he witnessed a man pointing a gun at another man in a downtown parking lot near Seymour and Nelson streets.

    Just a sampling of some of the weapons seized over the past 30 days, from only one team of officers in the . Many of these same weapons would have been later used in violent crimes. It's a significant safety concern for all of us.

    Thanks for the acknowledgement .

    From the woman who woke to intruders in her home: “The police were wonderful. They were here immediately upon calling and provided full support. The thief lunged at me twice with a knife when I confronted him and then ran off when I started screaming."

    Nice work by a couple of sharp eyed officers last night. Stolen car drove by them, the driver abruptly turned a corner, parked and exited. The officers set up and waited, almost an hour and a half later the suspects returned and were nabbed.

    A weekend response to a call for help from health professionals ended up with an injured officer requiring 5 staples. The suspect swung his skateboard striking our officer in the head.

    Four pepper spray incidents today so far. We're averaging about 6 calls a day this year; they're often used as weapons during assaults or robberies.

    Congrats Sgt. Cairns, well deserved retirement, seen lots in his almost 40 years of policing. Between the two sergeants there's over 70 years of combined time with the VPD. TY both for your public service.

    It was my pleasure to participate in the the “last ride” for SGT Cairns! After 39.4 years of serving , he is retiring! Here’s to a long and happy retirement!

    Another call in the from a citizen regarding a man with a gun, it was a replica. This ties up resources because we have to treat it like it's real, no different than we would a bomb threat, a fire or a heart attack.

    More weapons taken off the street today. Nice work by our beat officers in the DTES and thanks to the citizen who called it in after seeing a man putting a gun into a holster.

    Homemade mace seized off of a man in the Olympic Village. Not sure why anyone needs a weapon like this. Glad to get this one off the road.

    I remember Dave well, incredible police dog trainer and even better person. TY for improving how we work police dogs and improving public safety. You'll be missed.

    We’ve learned of the recent passing of retired Sergeant Dave Yurkiw. His legacy will be his contribution to the Police Service Dog Section. His passion for his work will never be forgotten.
