Vancouver’s next mayor says he expects the first of 100 additional police officers promised in his election platform to hit the streets within a year.

Ken Sim, who takes office Nov. 7, says adding the officers and the same number of mental health nurses is one of the top priorities in his party’s 94-point platform, alongside accelerating property permitting and making more daycare spaces available.
