Navigating Vancouver PD
Hi everyone- posting from a backup account here as this is all pretty sensitive to my family.
I’m wondering if anyone has had to deal with Vancouver PD for an ongoing investigation, specifically detectives.
A family member of mine was killed by their partner, and it’s been a nightmare navigating this. They seem to not take DV seriously, and even have made comments like “it’s not like they were shot or stabbed or anything”. The partner is a criminal with a lengthy history of DV and drug issues.
Are we supposed to just play nice until the department does their job? I cannot believe the things I’ve heard from the detectives’ mouths (“if they were being abused why wouldn’t they leave” “why would they say they fell”) to a grieving family.
I cannot give too many details as it’s an open case, but would love to hear anyone else’s experiences: advice or even just sharing stories so I know we’re not alone in this.
Thank you
