Specialized Equipment

Each year we strive to purchase specialty equipment for the Abbotsford Police Department. These are tools that fall outside of their annual operating budget, but would greatly help AbbyPD safeguard the community.

With your support, we purchased an aerial drone which assists police by providing a bird's eye view of crime and disaster scenes they may not otherwise be able to see, an ATV Gator giving AbbyPD access to remote and otherwise inaccessible locations surrounding the city and have contributed to the purchase of a training simulator which will allow officers to train for real-life scenarios in a simulated environment.

"Last year the Abbotsford Police Department was able to purchase a training simulator thanks to the generosity of our community and support from the Abbotsford Police Foundation. The simulator greatly enhances our ability to train our AbbyPD members in responding to dynamic and dangerous situations. Having this training available to AbbyPD will help to keep our community and brave police officers safe. This equipment is something that we could not afford to purchase with our current operating budget. It is a three screen simulator that puts our officers into simulated dangerous situations and provides them an opportunity to respond, learn, and train from that experience.

"We truly appreciate the support and your commitment to helping us make Abbotsford the Safest city in BC" ~ Chief Constable Mike Serr
