INSPECTOR SCOTT THOMPSON
DISTRICT ONE COMMANDER
I want to welcome you and our guests, Mr. Wynne Powell, the CEO of London Drugs, and Valarie MacLean of the Vancouver Police Foundation to the Vancouver Police Mounted Unit. I also want to acknowledge North Command Superintendent Andy Hobbs of the VPD who is also here today.
The Mounted Unit has been a fixture in Vancouver and Stanley Park since 1909. The horses and police officers of the Mounted Unit patrol the park, but they also engage the public and engage in youth outreach.

The Vancouver Police Foundation helps advance initiatives in five key areas that strengthen community connections, support youth, and help keep Vancouver safe: Community Engagement Grants, VPD Cadets, the VPD K9 Unit & Police Service Dogs, the VPD Mounted Unit, and Special Projects, Programs & Equipment. Help bring innovative ideas to life and strengthen public safety across Vancouver by making a gift today.
