Victoria police are seeing early wins from increased downtown foot patrols, with fewer tents and disorder reported on Pandora and Johnson Street — though Chief Fiona Wilson warns the work isn’t done. Last year, those blocks saw over 3,000 calls; this year’s rise is partly due to businesses feeling safer reporting issues, with patrol officers spotting and addressing half the problems themselves. While visibility is helping curb vandalism, critics say police can only move people — not solve root causes — and call for support services outside commercial zones. The chief admits the cycle of displacement frustrates everyone and stresses that lasting change needs housing, health, and community support, not just policing. Meanwhile, the department is reviewing resource use and has pulled officers from a regional major crime unit, choosing to handle homicides internally after a decade-long drop in such cases.
