Out with the police gang task force

Advertisement

Vancouver, British Columbia, has become Canada's drugs capital, according to recent statistics.

Drug gangs exploit legal loopholes, and the proximity to the US border, to build a lucrative, and increasingly deadly, business.

There are several police forces with jurisdiction in the area, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the City of Vancouver police. In a new move, they have joined forces to form a gang task force.

Bill Law joined them on an operation outside a casino in the Greater Vancouver area.
