A year long endeavour from the Âé¶čAV RCMP has resulted in 95 arrests.
A total of 172 charges were approved by the Crown against the 95 people who were charged against the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
The Âé¶čAV RCMP Downtown Enforcement Unit investigated and tackled drug trafficking offences in Âé¶čAV over the past year, a project that required more than 20 officers focusing efforts on reducing downtown crime specifically.
âInvestigations such as these require our officers to be flexible, tenacious and committed in order to be successful and I believe our officers were just that,â says Cpl. Meghan Foster of the Âé¶čAV RCMP. âThe number of charges approved by Crown Counsel are a clear reflection of our officersâ determination to serve their community.â
