Police urge safe and respectful behaviour ahead of grad sleep-outs

As Labour Day weekend approaches, North Vancouver & West Vancouver students are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting new school year. For many Grade 11 and 12 students, this means participating in traditional grad sleep-out events across the North Shore. In light of these celebrations, the North Vancouver RCMP and the West Vancouver Police Department are providing students and parents with essential guidance on celebrating responsibly.

Corporal Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP emphasizes, “While many students attending grad sleep-outs intend to have harmless fun, we’ve seen in previous years how these gatherings can quickly spiral into dangerous or unlawful situations. Underage drinking, drug use, vandalism, littering, and other behaviour that violates Provincial and Federal laws or municipal bylaws have all been issues in the past. With increased freedom comes increased accountability. We expect all participants to show respect for the community, the environment, and each other, and we will take enforcement action where necessary.”

While students should expect to be held responsible for their actions during these events, Sgt. Carla Rhodes of the West Vancouver Police Department notes that parental influence remains crucial. “Parents play a vital role in steering their adolescents towards smart choices. We strongly encourage families to have candid discussions with their teens about the decisions they are likely to face, emphasizing both the positive paths forward and the potential outcomes of poor judgement”.

To ensure a safe weekend, the North Vancouver RCMP and the West Vancouver Police Department will be actively enforcing liquor, traffic, and local bylaws, with additional officers on duty to manage the anticipated increase in activity.

Tips for Parents: Opening up the discussion

Encouraging open communication with your youth about their upcoming plans is key. Here are some strategies to facilitate these conversations:

• Let your teen know you are approachable and interested in their point of view. This can be done casually or during a more formal discussion, such as a family meeting.
• Aim for a dialogue rather than a lecture. Keep the conversation relaxed and invite your teen to share their opinions and questions.
• Understand your teen’s perspective and be open to their viewpoints, even if they differ from your own. Remember, effective communication involves active listening.
• When discussing topics like substance use, be direct and factual, without overwhelming yourteen with too much information. By having thoughtful conversations and setting clear expectations and boundaries, parents can help ensure a safe and enjoyable Labour Day weekend for their teens.

On Monday, one of our motor officers stopped a driver on Main Street for using an electronic device while driving.

We’re used to seeing a cell phone in someone’s hand, but this driver decided to level up, holding a tablet with both hands while behind the wheel.

The driver was fined $368. The ticket also comes with four demerit points.

Your text, email, or next scroll can wait until you reach your destination. Keep both hands where they belong and your eyes on the road.

💍 A $50,000 ring, one detailed report, and a perfect Match

Recently, a North Vancouver RCMP officer was assisting University RCMP with extra duties on their day off when they received a frantic call from a woman reporting that her wedding ring, featuring a 3-carat diamond and valued at approximately $50,000, had been lost along the Pacific Spirit Trail in Vancouver.

The officer took the report and carefully documented a detailed description of the ring.

Shortly after, a good Samaritan turned in a ring to the North Vancouver RCMP detachment.

While reviewing reports, a civilian employee conducted a search and recognized the description as matching the one from the University RCMP file.

The next day, the same officer who had taken the original report was able to reunite the ring with its rightful owner, who was understandably extremely grateful.

In this case, it was the attention to detail in that initial report that connected the dots. A good Samaritan found it, a civilian employee recognized the description, and an officer followed through.

A great example of how the little details, and a little teamwork, can make a big difference. ❤️💍

This past weekend, we joined the 25th anniversary of the Pulling Together Canoe Journey in Agassiz.

From the traditional territories of the Sts’ailes First Nation, 12 canoe families began their journey along the Harrison River to Tsawwassen First Nation.

For 25 years, the journey has brought people together to share, learn and build relationships that continue long after the canoes reach shore. We’re grateful to be part of it.

Father pays the price for his son riding an E Scooter underage

Just because your child might enjoy the idea of an E Scooter, that does not mean they are legal or safe, and a North Vancouver man is on the hook after allowing his son to ride while under the age of 16.

On August 4, 2026, at 7:15 p.m., a BC Highway Patrol officer spotted a small E Scooter rider in heavy traffic on Marine Drive at Pemberton Avenue, North Vancouver. The rider was wearing shorts, a T-shirt, an oversized helmet and large shoes. Suspecting that the E Scooter operator was underage, the officer stopped the rider and learned that he was 12 years old.

“Children under 16 are not allowed to operate E Scooters on public roads, bike lanes, or bike paths,” says Sergeant Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “We spoke to the boy’s father, explained the law, and issued a ticket.”

The father of the E Scooter rider received a ticket for:

- Allow a person under 16 years to operate an electric kick scooter,” section 7(2) of the Electronic Kick Scooter Pilot Project Regulation, ($109).

“Police are getting an increasing number of complaints about unsafe and illegal E mobility users,” says Sergeant McLaughlin. “Our main goal is to prevent death and injury, and it looks like we’re going to have to issue more tickets before people get the message.”

Police vehicle damaged during incident at Lonsdale Quay

file 26-16644

A man has been taken into custody following mischief to a police vehicle.

On August 10, 2026, North Vancouver RCMP received a call for assistance from BC Emergency Health Services regarding an aggressive patient following a medical call at Lonsdale Quay. Shortly after 8:00 p.m., the first officer arrived on scene, and the man who was the subject of the medical call immediately climbed onto the hood of the police vehicle and repeatedly punched and kicked the windshield, causing significant damage.

More officers arrived on scene and ultimately took the man into custody.

The male was taken to hospital for treatment of injuries he sustained while attempting to break the windshield. The officer was also taken to hospital as a precaution after being exposed to debris from the shattered windshield.

The suspect, who is known to police, is facing several charges relating to the damaged police vehicle.

“This was a dynamic and frightening situation for many bystanders who witnessed the incident in a very populated area,” said Corporal Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP. “We are extremely grateful that no one was seriously injured as a result of this incident.”

Anyone who witnessed or has video of the incident and has not spoken to police is asked to contact the North Vancouver RCMP at 604 985 1311 and quote file 26-16644.
