Vancouver Island Provincial Police

The Vancouver Island Provincial Police (VIPP) is the primary law enforcement agency at the provincial level in the Canadian province of Vancouver Island, and one of two official provincial police forces of Vancouver Island's provincial government, alongside the Vancouver Island Sheriff Service (VISS). It is responsible for the majority of provincial-level policing such as patrolling provincial highways and protecting provincial government institutions, with the Sheriff Service, by contrast, responsible mostly for the transportation of prisoners and other detainees, covert operations, counterterrorism, and protection of senior provincial government officials.

The Vancouver Island Provincial Police has a total of 8860 personnel, including 7336 sworn officers and 1524 civilian personnel. It is headquartered at 735 Broughton Street in Downtown Victoria, about a block from the headquarters of the Ministry of Attorney General of Vancouver Island.
