When Fraser Winter Park Police Chief Glen Trainor began thinking about a celebration for the department\u2019s 15th anniversary, he didn\u2019t expect to have to work around the COVID-19 pandemic to honor his team.<\/p>\n

However, despite the trying times, Trainor said he\u2019s beyond proud of what his department has been able to accomplish in the Fraser Valley, especially now. The department\u2019s official anniversary was May 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come to realize just what an incredible community we serve,\u201d Trainor said. \u201cWe were welcomed with open arms when we started the police department and I think there\u2019s been a lot of hard work, not only from our officers, but citizens as well, in continuing and building those relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2005, the FWPPD came into being with Trainor at the helm. The department was created thanks to a growing population and tourist base in the Fraser Valley, as well as more year-round need for police coverage.<\/p>\n
