Teams of cops, prosecutors, to target repeat violent offenders in B.C.: Farnworth
B.C. will spend $25 million over three years to create teams of police, prosecutors, and probation officers to attempt to crack down on repeat violent offenders.
Farnworth said the program, dubbed the Repeat Violent Offending Intervention Initiative, will create “coordinated response teams,” where cops, prosecutors, and probation officers will work together to monitor cases from investigation, through the laying of criminal charges, to bail, trial, and sentencing, and on beyond to community supervision after release.
Farnworth said the teams are already being put together and the program will begin in April, although not every region or team will be able to start immediately.Chief Supt. John Brewer of the RCMP said that the program will run at the community level to identify cases and interventions locally.
