The Gastown Hastings Crossing Community Policing Centre and Neighbourhood Safety Hub (GHXCPC) is a volunteer-driven nonprofit working in partnership with the Vancouver Police Department and local service providers. We promote safety, inclusion, and crime prevention through community engagement, outreach, and education.
Programs
Information Services
Front-line support from our street-front office. Volunteers offer help, directions, resource referrals, and distribute community safety materials. We’re also a safe place for lost & found, public questions, or safe exchanges.
Volunteer Patrols
Volunteer teams patrol the neighbourhood on foot, acting as an extra set of eyes and ears for the community. They report safety concerns, connect with businesses and residents, and document issues like discarded needles, graffiti, or suspicious activity.
Community Cleanup
Volunteer cleanups tackling litter, graffiti, and needles using CPTED principles—clean and active spaces are safer spaces!
