To kick off Season 6 of the True Blue Podcast, we chat with Sgt. David Jorgensen, current Vice-President of the Victoria City Police Union (VCPU) and Sgt. (Ret’d) Ole Jorgensen, former long time VCPU executive member. We discussed the Regimental Mess Dinner that occurred in late 2025. Well over 100 serving and retired members participated in the event, which is intended to foster camaraderie, promote an appreciation for the history of VicPD and to celebrate those who have served in the Victoria Police Department. The event is formal in nature but not intended to focus on rank or work topics. Good natured ribbing and frivolity are expected during the dinner. The event is co-sponsored by the VCPU and organized by the Victoria Police Mutual Benevolent Association (PMBA). Members regard this event as the one occasion where you get to celebrate friendships and can really feel a sense of belonging.
Lastly, we get a few career details from one of our father/son police officer perspectives. Thanks to Ole and David for participating.
