Experienced Officer Transition to VicPD - Constable Adam Osmond

April 25, 2026 • Joel Durling/Todd Mason • Season 6 • Episode 5

0:00 | 1:10:48

Constable Adam Osmond was a 10 year veteran of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) before moving to VicPD to continue his policing career. Adam and Host Joel Durling run through Adam's life before policing and some fantastic details on why he wanted to work in policing. Adam discusses his favourite hobbies to many of the great experiences he had in the CPS. On New Year's Eve in 2020, Adam and his Recruit were the first officers on scene when Sergeant Andrew Harnett was killed on duty by a teenaged driver who fled a traffic stop. Adam provided court testimony in the murder trail that led to a conviction.

Adam grew up mainly in Alberta but had also attended high school in Victoria so coming back here wasn't overly foreign to him. He credits VicPD's program of offering a cash incentive to helping him return to Victoria.

He continues to work in the Patrol Division but has aspirations of working in the Forensics Unit at VicPD.
