“I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) and the RCMP detachments in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John for their recent collaborative efforts to enhance public safety in our region.
These outcomes of this deployment represent a substantial step forward in the ongoing efforts to disrupt gang-related activities and reduce the presence of illegal drugs in our communities. The safety and well-being of our residents are of paramount importance, and such proactive enforcement actions are vital in maintaining the peace and security we all value.
I commend the dedication and professionalism of all officers involved in this operation. Their commitment to protecting our communities does not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate their service.
