Send us Fan MailVCPU President, Angela Van Eerd hosts this episode to introduce Tiffany Parton, the Director of Strategic Communications and Community Engagement for VicPD.Tiffany grew up in Stayner, Ontario a small town of about 3000 people before moving out to the West Coast to work in fundraising for a number of charities.  She later moved to Vancouver Island in 2015 to work for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation.  She first connected with the Police when she got a fundraising job at “Cops for Cancer”.  A few years ago, she became the first Executive Director for the BC Association of Chiefs of Police.As Director of Strategic Communications Tiffany and her team help to create a more connected and trusted organization in community and one that is more human focused.  A significant change to the past where minimal information about our people and what police officers deal with on a daily basis.  The VCPU believes the True Blue Podcast aligns with this new focus and is happy to see this effort being promoted.Ange and Tiffany both believe the re-implementation of the Foot Patrol Squad in the downtown area is a great representation of being present in community.  The Public needs to see the police and the more they know can only help them understand and appreciate the police role.  VicPD Media will get the story out ahead of time versus having local media agencies drag it out after the fact.Tiffany is proud of the work the Victoria Police Department is doing! Sound editing done by Todd Mason.More about the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU):-       Tweet us at https://twitter.com/VicPD_Union-       Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vicpd_union/-       Find us on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/truebluevictoria/-       Visit our website for information at https://truebluevic.ca/-       Email us at [email protected] for any media inquiries or requests to be on the True Blue Podcast
