For the fourth year in a row, the Delta Police Department (DPD) has been designated as one of “BC’s Top Employers.”
The annual competition, now in its 17th year, is organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. The special designation recognizes employers that are leaders in offering exceptional places to work and grow.
Applications are evaluated by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition: physical workplace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement. Applications are open to all B.C. public and private sector employers.
The DPD is one of the only two police departments to be designated alongside the Saanich Police Department.
“I am proud to announce that the DPD has been designated as one of BC’s Top Employers for the fourth year in a row,” said DPD Chief Neil Dubord. “It is every employer’s responsibility to focus on the health and well-being of their team. Here, at the DPD, employee health (both physical and mental) and wellness and the various other associated factors, such as the availability of diverse benefits, and professional development opportunities, are the pillars to providing excellence in policing services to our community, due to the very nature of police work. And that is exactly why, as a progressive police department, in our new strategic plan, we prioritize investing into our team and our community.
“The concept of investing in our team is simple: if we invest in and take care of our people, they will invest in and take care of the community. As a Top Employer, we will strive to continuously prepare, equip and develop our team to provide the best possible service to our community.”
