“This report reflects the Delta Police Department’s continued commitment to delivering effective, accountable, and responsive policing,” said Delta Police Board Chair Ian Tait. “Through strong governance and close collaboration with the Chief, the Board ensures the Department is well-positioned to serve a growing and diverse community. Delta remains one of the safest communities in British Columbia, which speaks to the professionalism and dedication of the DPD team.”
