The Apartment Watch Program is designed to help apartment owners, residents, managers and others prevent crime in their building.

Sponsor the WECHCPC

The West End - Coal Harbour Community Policing Centre is a non-profit organization. We are core funded by the City of Vancouver, but our expenses reach far beyond the "core" funding we receive. Without the support of the community, fundraising, and donations, our office wouldn`t be where it is today. If you would like to sponsor or donate to our organization, please contact info@wechcpc.com for more information. Your donations help us with everything from office equipment, foot and bike patrol essentials, uniforms, and the most basic necessities such as heat and power. Thank you to everyone who supports our Centre!
