Anti-police acronym discovered on Bastion BC Law Enforcement Memorial Nov. 27

The Victoria Police Department is investigating after a police monument at the B.C. legislature was graffitied with an anti-police acronym last week.

The memorial is a provincial monument dedicated to officers who have lost their lives in service. It includes 129 officers’ names, including six former VicPD members.

VicPD is asking anyone with information to come forward, by contacting the report desk at 250-995-7654, ext. 1. Reports can be made anonymously to Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
