In the last few weeks you may have noticed that Station 9 vehicles back on patrol during the overnight hours in Cote Saint-Luc, Hampstead and Montreal West.  When Montreal threatened to close the station five years ago the three municipalities agreed to withdraw the overnight patrols being controlled out of Station 9, and moved them to Station 11, provided that the local station remained open from early morning until late at night.

Thanks to the persistent advocacy of PDQ9 Commander Sylvain Bissonnette, overnight patrols have finally been returned to the Cavendish Blvd. station.

What does this mean to Cote Saint-Luc, Hampstead and Montreal West residents?  It means regular patrol vehicles dedicated to our three municipalities, prioritized locally, rather than out of NDG.  PDQ9 officers are familiar with our streets and our issues.  They are more aware of local particularities, hot spots and residents.  They are better suited to serve and protect our three cities than are other officers from neighbouring stations.

Welcome back to late night in Cote Saint-Luc.  We’re glad to have you on duty.
