Welcome

Receiving its Charter on July 15, 1918, the Vancouver Police Union was established with the mandate to best represent its members by encompassing democratic principles and sound business practices.

The Union goals included:
  • As a bargaining unit under the Labour Code, to negotiate and administer collective agreements over wages and working conditions and to comply with Section 12 of the code in terms of member representation that is not arbitrary, discriminatory or in bad faith.
  • To assist in Police Act matters, in particular, in relation to discipline regulations as they are of concern to the membership.
  • To assist with Workers' Compensation Act and Employment Standards Act matters of concern to the membership.
  • To administer private group benefits coverage as determined by the membership.
  • To deal with other relevant membership and professional matters consistent with the state of employment of the membership.
The Vancouver Police Union seeks to be representative of its membership by functioning through democratic procedures. It continually works at internal cooperation, consultation and consensus. To its membership, it is open and accessible, communicating, reporting and holding itself accountable to them.

The Vancouver Police Union actively pursues positive change for the employment and professional interests of its members, and defends those same interests. It sets clear objectives based on a defined Union role and is creative and innovative in making and carrying out initiatives to achieve these goals.

Through appropriate business processes and methods, the Vancouver Police Union seeks to operate effectively, efficiently and with impact. It provides for acquisition of knowledge and skills by members and staff to improve operations.
