The Winning Design
In 2023, the Abbotsford Police Department launched a contest inviting local Indigenous youth from our school district to design a shoulder flash that would represent their heritage, family, and community values. The initiative aimed to reflect the attributes they wished to see in their police force.
Telling the Story
On November 11th, 2021, Shirley Wilson of Abbotsford lost her son Jacob to a Fentanyl Overdose. In the years leading up to this, Jacob struggled to get help and assistance with treatment to overcome his addiction.
Shirley tells Jacob's story in the hopes that Jacobs experience will bring change to allow people seeking help to get it.

Between July 11th and July 13th, 2023, The APD Canoe Family Stó:lÅ Spáth participated in locally held Canoe Journeys at Cultus Lake, Chilliwack Lake and Harrison Lake.
The Canoe Journey was a joint effort between Public Service Agencies and First Nations Communities working towards reconciliation and mutual respect.
