The Victoria Beach Police office is situated at #69- PTH 59 and shares space in the Fire Hall. The VB Public Works is located on the same property, putting all 3 municipal departments together.
The Chief Constable is a full-time position with the other 5 being seasonal positions (May to Oct). The R.M. provides accomodation for summer staff which is also located on the same property. The VBPolice have a Chev Silverado truck and a Ford Crown Victoria cruiser car but in the summer months the major portion of patrolling is done on foot or on bicycles.
The Victoria Beach Police are responsible for municipal by-laws, Provincial Acts such as the Highway Traffic Act, Off Road Vehicle Act and the Liquor Control Act as well as any breach of the Criminal Code of Canada. The Canadian Coast Guard are responsible for boats on Lake Winnipeg but the Victoria Beach Police are called upon to attend any mishap that involves a swimmer(s) on any of the beaches in the RM.
