2025 Year End Wrap-Up Episode

December 15, 2025 • Matt Waterman/Todd Mason • Season 5 • Episode 18

The True Blue Podcast wraps up Season 5 with Host Tom Stamatakis interviewing the VCPU President Angela Van Eerd. Hear them discuss the successes and challenges of 2025. Furthermore, they look into the future and discuss what Contract Bargaining and Crime Fighting will look like in 2026.

Ang and Tom make it clear that the complaint process needs to be better, the lengthy delays are weighing on the membership and arguably it’s also hampering recruitment of new officers to the profession.

The Victoria City Police Union is so thankful for all the listeners of the podcast who support the efforts of the Union. We all believe that the policing profession is the best and that our members deserve praise for being brave and keeping our communities safe.
