Congratulations of Our LPOs!

On December 3rd, two of our LPO's observed a chronic property offender entering a parking lot. They did not see the suspect break into the vehicle in the lot; however, they maintained surveillance on him. The suspect was seen throwing identification in a dumpster close to the parking lot. One of the LPO's quickly phoned an on duty Police contact and advised her of the incident. While on the phone, he gave the name found on one of the pieces of ID that was in the garbage bin. VPD quickly ran the information and contacted that victim. The victim advised his vehicle was parked Downtown and he had left a laptop in the vehicle. The direction of travel and the description of the suspect was provided as well as his last known address confirmed on PRIME to the VPD. By this time, there was approximately a twenty minute delay from the suspect leaving the scene. VPD was able to wait at the suspect's house until he returned home and was arrested and the stolen laptop was recovered and promptly returned to the victim. Lest to say, the victim was ecstatic.

Thank you for the fantastic job, guys!

Christmas Parade




We had a wonderful time at the Christmas Parade! Everything went smoothly and there was a great turn out. It was so nice to see so many people out despite the cold, cold weather. Thanks! I'd like to thank Dave Sukic (dressed up as the reindeer), our director of community service, for a great job coordinating this event. A big thank you to the staff who participated as well. I wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday season!

Christmas Parade

We're very excited to be participating in the Christmas Parade again. It's on December 6th so this year we have a very cool concept. Come check it out. I'll be sure to have pictures up after. I'll keep you guys updated as I know more details as the parade gets closer.

To celebrate the holiday season, we're offering a holiday special for our training academy. For the next little while, if you sign up for AST you get BST free! Call us for details.

New Class Schedule for Training Academy

We are starting our first evening and weekend BST class on Monday. We've been able to accomodate people who have day jobs to training for something they're interested in. The course runs Monday to Friday two hours a night and a full day on Saturday and Sunday. I'm excited that we're able to make our class schedule fit for everyone.

Recently, it's was made mandatory that night clubs need to have their staff trained in BST too and last week we trained a few clubs which went really well. It was great group of people. It'll be fun to start training other clubs in the future. I guess I should get back to work now. Have a great weekend everyone!

It's also the last BC Lions game we'll be doing tonight for the season. It's too bad they're out of the playoffs but they had a great season and we had a lot of fun at every game. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Consumer Choice Awards

Genesis has won this award three years in a row now! Thank you to everyone who voted! We always strive to provide the best service and we are happy to know it is paying off.



The training academy is going very well. The space looks great! Again, we are offering a free training course to people who hold or have held the temporary 90 day license. It will cover basic security concepts from legal to how to deal with different scenarios. This will be important with all the work available in the new year. I hope to update again early next week.
