The resolution suggests strategies and tools be provided for regional districts to assist in the elimination of illegal marijuana grow-ops and other drug operations. The RCMP committed its full support in a recent letter to the UBCM, which stated some current joint efforts in the Lower Mainland, such as Electrical Fire and Safety Inspection Teams that inspect grow-ops, have proved invaluable for both public and officer safety aspects. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
