B.C. launches hiring drive for Crown prosecutors to help address repeat offending
The British Columbia Prosecution Service has launched a recruitment drive for Crown lawyers and other staff, part of a series of recent measures to address repeat violent offending.
Those teams are part of the province’s safer communities action plan launched by Premier David Eby soon after he was sworn in last November. Officials have said the response teams will consist of police, prosecutors and probation officers who will focus on repeat offenders, while the province also plans to add 12 mental health response teams, some Indigenous-led.
The service says it’s looking for lawyers with at least six years of trial experience and it’s strongly encouraging applications from candidates across Canada.
