The Vice Division is a division of the Lower Mainland Constabulary's Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID). It is responsible for investigating primarily sex and narcotics crimes and other criminal activities and enterprises deemed immoral such as child and other illegal pornography. It also handles criminal intelligence and some of the constabulary's confidential informant (CHIS) networks.

The division has historically been found to contain a relatively high degree of corruption amongst its ranks, especially in the 1960s–90s, much of which was broken up and the participating corrupt officers charged by the Lower Mainland Constabulary's Directorate of Internal Affairs in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
