Gang enforcement team comes to Prince George after recent uptick in violence

A policing partner has joined local RCMP to target drug trafficking groups associated with multiple recent shootings in Prince George.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of BC arrived in the city this past weekend.

CFSEU-BC’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) were in the City to assist with intelligence gathering and enforcement.

“The main goal of the partnership was to enhance the safety of the public by aggressively disrupting the actions of individuals who choose to involve themselves in drug-related activity and the violence connected to it,” said Corporal Craig Douglass, with the Prince George RCMP.

Over the course of Friday and Saturday nights, the UGET:

  • Created thirty files in relation to their investigations, including drug-trafficking, impaired driving, weapons possession and driving offences;
  • Removed fifteen weapons from the street including a collapsible baton, bear spray, and multiple knives;
  • Seized illicit drugs;
  • Issued a number of provincial violation tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act and the Cannabis Act.

Public safety is paramount and we appreciate the additional assistance that the CFSEU-BC officers were able to provide, Douglass said.

Their support and assistance in targeting members of violent organized crime groups in our community is always welcome.

Douglass added it has been more than a week since the last reported violence related to the conflict.
