A Cariboo Regional District resolution endorsed at the 2010 Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention has received support from the RCMP.
The resolution suggests strategies and tools be provided for regional districts to assist in the elimination of illegal marijuana grow-ops and other drug operations.
The RCMP committed its full support in a recent letter to the UBCM, which stated some current joint efforts in the Lower Mainland, such as Electrical Fire and Safety Inspection Teams that inspect grow-ops, have proved invaluable for both public and officer safety aspects.
