The Tsawwassen Community Police Station is on the move this week to a new location.

In an effort to meet the needs of a growing community and raise its visibility, the Tsawwassen Community Police Station (CoPS) is on the move this week to a new location.

After 22 years in the Royal Oaks complex on 56th Street, the office will shut down Thursday and then re-open on Tuesday, Jan. 24 in the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

The station constable and 38 volunteers (many with more than 20 years of service) are excited to open the doors at the new location.

“Our goal is to be more accessible to a broader cross section of people,” said Insp. Varun Naidu. “By being at this central location it will allow us more opportunities to engage with citizens and enhance our ability to serve you better.

“We have many long-standing volunteers, some with more than 30 years of dedicated service. The volunteers really are the key to the success of any of our CoPS offices. These volunteers are great examples of how community involvement builds and strengthens the fabric of community. This kind of partnership with citizens really demonstrates how effective police working alongside citizens is in maintaining a safer and better community.”

“This has been a long-standing location for the Delta Police with a good many citizens committing not just a few hours, but years of countless hours of volunteerism in this office,” said Delta police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks. “Looking back over the years there have been many community events attended, initiatives started and maintained, which has added to the service level of the Delta Police to the citizens of Delta, specifically Tsawwassen.”

The new office will be open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can contact the office directly at 604-948-0199 or the department’s main phone line at 604-946-4411.

Delta Police invites the public to stop by next week when the new office opens and to even consider signing up to volunteer. For more details on how to volunteer see: www.deltapolice.ca.
