Port Moody Police Department

What Port Moody Police Department does

Port Moody Police Department (PMPD) is the statutory municipal police force for the City of Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, operating under the British Columbia Police Act and the civilian oversight of the Port Moody Police Board. Founded in 1913 with a single officer and headed today by Chief Constable David Fleugel, PMPD delivers policing, crime prevention, victim support, road safety enforcement, youth services, and emergency response to the residents and visitors of Port Moody through a workforce of approximately 60 sworn officers and 20 civilian employees. The department reports it serves one of the safest cities in the Greater Vancouver Lower Mainland and operates from the Public Safety Building at 3051 St. Johns Street, near Moody Centre Skytrain Station.

PMPD's service portfolio spans a unified set of community-policing programs rather than a modular technology product. Core offerings include online non-emergency crime reporting (e-forms), Police Information Checks and vulnerable-sector screenings (with disclosed per-check pricing), the Garage 529 bicycle registry, victim services, youth services, front-counter operations, mental-health and drug-poisoning support resources, road safety and Speed Watch, cyber-safety education, and Community Registry and Buy-and-Sell Exchange Zone facilities. Technology investments recently launched or in rollout include a solar-powered Community Safety Trailer with secure video cameras (June 2026) and a Body-Worn Camera program for frontline officers (initial deployment June 2026, full rollout expected late 2026). PMPD also operates an Accessibility Plan (2024-2027), an Anti-Racism Toolkit, and a Languages in Motion translation app.

PMPD's revenue model is municipal appropriation: the City of Port Moody funds the department through tax-based government appropriations, with the only fee-based revenue stream being Police Information Checks (e.g., $75 + tax for employment checks, $20 + tax for student checks, $10 + tax for adoption/volunteer checks). The go-to-market is community-led policing via volunteer programs (Block Watch, Crime Free Multi-Housing, Reserve Program, Speed Watch) and partnerships with regional integrated units such as IHIT, the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team, EComm (911 dispatch), and the Province of British Columbia (C-STEP funding for the Community Safety Trailer). Distribution channels include a 24/7 front counter, online self-serve portals, 911 and non-emergency phone, social media (X, Instagram, Facebook), newsletter, and earned media through a Community Relations Officer.
