“Ensuring that Victoria and our region has a strong, resilient, and effective public safety service has been my priority every day for the past 34 years, and a focus of my leadership as Chief Constable for the past 7 years.
First responders serve our communities 24/7 and demands on policing services throughout the region have become increasingly more complex. We depend on our radios and our colleagues to keep the public and our officers safe.
CREST’s 2020 upgrade to an all-digital network and expanded coverage area across the Capital Region couldn’t have come at a better time. Our citizens want and deserve a unified public safety service available to respond regardless of where a criminal offence takes place or where an intervention by police may be required. The interoperable radio feature on the CREST system allows us to reliably communicate with other agencies in real-time. Our ability to respond as a collective service regionally with seamless communication abilities is best practice here in the Capital Region and throughout North America. Public safety underpins the quality-of-life that we all value and enjoy.”
Victoria Police Chief Del Manak
