Greater Victoria Police Diversity Advisory Committee
The Greater Victoria Police Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC) was formed in 2001. The DAC is comprised of police representatives and diverse community representatives from the Greater Victoria region of British Columbia, Canada.

fostering trust
improving communication
building understanding around issues of mutual concern
Activities of the DAC include:
hosting regular meetings with police and community members
organizing public information and education events with police and community members
promoting outreach and community engagement events with police and the public
informing and updating the region's police chiefs of the GVPDAC activities and identifying potential issues of concern
