We’re Open! Welcome to the Gastown Hastings Crossing Community Policing Centre
On July 16, 2025, the Gastown Hastings Crossing Community Policing Centre (GHX CPC) officially opened its doors to the public.
The GHX CPC is a new community-led space that will support local safety efforts in Gastown and Hastings Crossing. Operated by a non-profit society and working in partnership with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), our focus is on crime prevention, safety education, outreach, and community involvement.
We’re looking forward to getting to know the neighbourhood better, and to working alongside local residents, businesses, service providers and volunteers to support safety and well-being in the area.
A New Community Resource
Every CPC in Vancouver is a bit different, shaped by the needs of the neighbourhoods they serve. The GHX CPC is here to offer programs and services that reflect the unique character of Gastown and Hastings Crossing, including:
Safety education and outreach
Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED)
Community clean-ups and graffiti paint overs
Volunteer-led safety walks and patrols
Help navigating crime reporting or connecting with local resources
While we’re not a police station, we work closely with the VPD through a Neighbourhood Police Officer and support staff. The day-to-day work of the CPC is led by staff and volunteers from the local community.
A Collaborative Effort
The GHX CPC was made possible through the support and collaboration of many partners — including the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Police Department, local residents, businesses, community organizations, and the Province of BC.
We’re especially grateful to the community members who have stepped up to help guide this new initiative, including our first Board of Directors and the many volunteers who have already started contributing their time and energy.
Get Involved
This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to grow alongside the community.
If you’re curious about the CPC, have ideas to share, or want to learn more about volunteering, drop by and say hello! Our Volunteer Coordinator, Melissa, is happy to chat about how you can get involved.
