The provincial government is committed to leading and supporting actions to end violence against Indigenous women and girls.

Specialized courts move beyond the traditional justice system by taking a problem-solving approach for dealing with unique offenders and criminal justice issues.

As an independent statutory office of the provincial legislature, the Office of the Ombudsperson impartially investigates complaints about administrative actions and decisions by more than 2,800 B.C. public authorities.

The B.C. Liquor Policy Review made 73 recommendations to modernize B.C.'s liquor laws and bring convenience, choice and selection to consumers.

BC Corrections, which has used electronic supervision (ES, also known as electronic monitoring) for nearly two decades, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to explore opportunities to take advantage of advancements in related technology.

B.C. has led the way nationally on tackling drinking and driving, and the results speak for themselves - an estimated 238 lives saved and a 52% reduction in alcohol-related motor vehicle fatalities since B.C.'s Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) Program began in 2010.

B.C.'s ground-breaking Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) law deters people from drinking and driving and enables police to remove drivers affected by alcohol immediately from the road.
