议员Brian Montague提议在温哥华的东城市中心设立VPD培训学院, Councillor Brian Montague proposes a VPD training academy in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to tackle staffing shortages and rising overtime costs.

Brian Montague议员正推动在温哥华市东区伦敦药房空置的伦敦药房建立VPD培训学院,以解决人员短缺和加班费用增加的问题,加班费从2022年的2 600万美元增至2025年的3 900万美元。 Councillor Brian Montague is pushing to create a VPD training academy at the vacant London Drugs space in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to address staffing shortages and rising overtime costs, which increased from $26 million in 2022 to $39 million by 2025. 拟议的学院将补充不列颠哥伦比亚省司法研究所现有方案,提高培训能力,减少对外部设施的依赖。 The proposed academy would supplement the existing Justice Institute of British Columbia program, boosting training capacity and reducing reliance on external facilities. 2010年Woodward重新开发的一部分27 000平方英尺的场地,由于安全顾虑和高昂的运营成本,基本上仍然空缺,东下城的空缺率是全市平均水平的三倍。 The 27,000-square-foot site, part of the 2010 Woodward’s redevelopment, has remained largely vacant due to safety concerns and high operating costs, with Downtown Eastside vacancy rates three times the citywide average.
