Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has released the following statement about the independent investigation into Prince George RCMP:

Preliminary reporting released by the BC Coroners Service shows that the toxic, unregulated drug supply claimed the lives of at least 211 British Columbians in January, with the total number of deaths surpassing 200 for the eighth time in the past 16 months.

New training for police board members will provide the tools for strong and effective independent governance and oversight of municipal police agencies in their communities.

As the province’s drug toxicity public health emergency continues into its eighth year, at least 2,272 British Columbians lost their lives to toxic drugs in 2022.
