City Of Montreal Police Department – Station 35 – Montreal, QC

Neighbourhood Police Station 35

Poste de quartier 35 (PDQ 35) serves the vibrant and historic communities of La Petite-Patrie, La Petite-Italie (Little Italy), and a small sector of Outremont. This station is an integral part of the SPVM’s community policing model, which emphasizes proximity to citizens and problem-solving at the local level. The station’s territory is known for its bustling commercial arteries, such as Plaza Saint-Hubert and the Jean-Talon Market, requiring a dynamic police presence focused on both crime prevention and traffic management.

Core Services and Operations

The team at PDQ 35 is composed of patrol officers, investigators, and community relations officers who work together to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. Their operational priorities include:

• Patrol and Response: Responding to 911 emergency calls, conducting foot and bike patrols in parks and commercial districts, and managing crowd control during local festivals.
• Criminal Investigations: The station handles local investigations into property crimes, assaults, and fraud, while more serious crimes are coordinated with the SPVM’s major crimes division.
• Prevention Programs: Officers actively engage in prevention campaigns regarding burglary, fraud against seniors, and bicycle theft, often holding information sessions in community centers.

Citizen Services

At the PDQ 35 service counter, citizens can file reports for incidents such as vandalism, theft, or lost property. The station also provides Road Safety support, addressing issues like speeding and pedestrian safety, which are critical in this high-density urban environment. For non-emergency situations, the station encourages the use of online reporting tools, but the physical counter remains open seven days a week to assist those who prefer in-person interactions or require specific documentation like an event number for insurance purposes.
