Policing Gangs and Organized Crime in BC

With over five million residents, British Columbia is Canada’s third most populous province and our nation’s gateway to the pacific rim.  Many of Canada’s largest trading partners are accessed through BC trade routes. BC has several international airports as well as multiple points of land and water entry. These demographic and geographic attributes contribute to a robust and healthy economy for BC and the rest of Canada. However, these same qualities make BC a desirable base of operations for local and transnational organized crime groups.

With over 500+ sworn and civilian members from 12 different policing agencies, CFSEU-BC is the largest integrated police unit in Canada.

Based at the RCMP “E” Division Headquarters in Metro Vancouver, CFSEU-BC has offices located in Victoria, Kelowna and Prince George. This integrated model allows for a collaborative, coordinated and intelligence-led provincial response to organized crime, and uniquely positions CFSEU-BC as BC’s leader in the fight against gangs and organized crime.  

CFSEU-BC leads the provincial response to gangs and organized crime by integrating uniform policing with specialized investigative capabilities.

Through intelligence-led policing, proactive enforcement, and coordinated operations, CFSEU-BC strategically targets the highest-ranking organized crime groups and individuals operating within British Columbia who pose the greatest threat to public safety.

Working in partnership with municipal, provincial, federal, and international law enforcement agencies, CFSEU-BC prevents, disrupts, investigates, and dismantles organized criminal networks through a unified approach that combines frontline enforcement with complex investigations, enhancing public safety and reducing the impact of organized crime across the province.
