Saanich Police reply: Hi There. From what you are saying I recommend that you contact the Central Saanich Police. They can be located at 1903 Mt. Newton X Rd. 652-4441. I will contact them as well and make sure that they are expecting your call. As a general warning to all: be very cautious about posting any personal information anywhere on the internet. Carefully consider who may be able to read your information every time you post your name, e-mail address, street name, address or any other fact that may identify you or where you live. Do not respond to any unsolicited or suspicious e-mails. SB-Remove your profile from Myspace. Chat rooms can be very dangerous places for young people. Do not write back to this person and make sure the police and others you live with, or trust, know of your concerns.If you are living with your parents, tell them. I am glad you felt you could tell us about you fears but now you need to follow-up with the police in Central Saanich. Response by Sgt John Price

 Hello,

This is in regards to an incident posted on the Media section of the SPD website:

"Friday, Feb., 9 at 9:45 pm a pedestrian standing at bus shelter drinking a beer was served with a one year driving prohibition for his troubles. The 19 year old man was waiting for the bus when someone reported a man drinking in public. The police investigated and queried the man on police computers. The man was issued a driving prohibition prohibiting him from driving until March 2008. "

Was there more to the story that led to the one year suspension of the mans licence?

Further down the page, I read situations where people who are actually intoxicated behind the wheel and are weaving all over the road only get a 24 hour suspension, where the young man above was only waiting for a bus with a beer. While illegal, he is hardly a risk to public safety as described.

Thank you for the clarification.

Saanich Police reply: Hi Sam. I can't comment on that particular case but I can assure you that the police could not issue a driving prohibition for drinking in a public place. The only way this type of prohibition can be issued is if the BC Superintendent of Motor Vehicles deems it necessary, based on some aspect of a driver's history. Once the decision is made to suspend a driver's license it is recorded on our database. The next time that person is checked (at a bus stop or wherever), he/she is served the prohibition. Hope that clarifies it for you.

 What is the average age of new recruits?

Saanich Police reply: Hello Matt, We have seven new recruits who have just started at the Justice Institue of British Columbia. Their average age is 29.3 years. We have hired as young as 21 and as old as 40 years. Age is not a primary concern during the hiring process. Life experience, work experience, character,life skills, and education are given more weight than age. I hope that answers your question and thank you for visiting our Web site.

 Hi there!. I'm just curious about if SPS is going to give your cars new paint and colors? Victoria Police have updated their fleet, I hope Saanich will too. Is there any hope of that? No offense, but your vehicles liverly is getting quite dated.. since about 1991 you've had the same colors! Time to update to 2007!

Thanks!

Saanich Police reply: Hi Tessa, I am not aware of any plans to change the colors or design of our police fleet vehicles. Thanks for the note.

 Recently, while a guest was visiting our home, their car was "broken into" (not locked). The theives obviously looked through the car but found nothing to take but a few quarters. We later found that several neighbors had the same experience that same evening. We did not report this to the police - should we have?
Thank you.

Saanich Police reply: Hi Laurie. In Saanich we ask that you report all criminal activity to us. In a case like this we would not send an officer to your home, unless you called while the theft was in progress, but we would start a file and record the information. Your report would be used to give us a sense of the current crime patterns. This helps us know where to deploy resources proactively. Have you seen our crime maps? Click on the blue media button in the top menu and select property crime statistics. Thanks for the note.

Name: Miss My Car
From: Victoria
 Hi there!

Just had a question in regards to impounded vehicles. My car was recently towed by the police to an impound yard.

When attempting to retrieve my property I was told by the workers that my car would only be released once I settled my bill. Is this legal? I will pay when I have the funds, and they can send me a bill... but with-holding my property sounds like theft to me...


Thanks

Saanich Police reply: Hello Miss My Car. You can retrieve property out of your car if you present proper ID, but your car will not be released until you pay the impound fees. That is how it works and it is totally legal. Remember your fees increase by about $16 dollars each day your car is left impounded. There is more info on impounded vehicles in our Jan 23 and December 14 responses. Hope that helps.

 I liked this site. The author clearly respects visitors.

Saanich Police reply: Hi Alex. Respect is at the foundation of sound police practice so we are very happy that you get this impression from our site. Sir Robert Peel, who is considered the father of modern policing, defined the ethical requirements police officers must follow in order to be effective. His most memorable principle was, "the police are the public, and the public are the police." This statement is really all about mutual respect. Thanks for visiting our site.
