Each recruit brings an extensive amount of volunteering and community service experience that will equip them to serve the communities of Victoria and Esquimalt. Some were already familiar faces to the VicPD family as they had experience working as special municipal constables or Reserve constables. Two of the new recruits were already family members of VicPD officers. Inspector Michael Brown proudly welcomed his daughter to the department, alongside her two uncles, Inspector Colin Brown and Sergeant Cal Ewer. Cst. Brown becomes the fourth generation of police officers in her family. Another constable proudly welcomed her sister to the Department. This group of officers marks a total of 24 new officers hired in 2024, part of an ongoing effort to attract and train the best new and experienced officers from across the country to serve Victoria and Esquimalt. Applications are now being accepted for 2025 and 2026 training opportunities. -30-
