Get to know your anti-gang police unit CFSEU publishes first community report; unveils profile of murder victims, warning signs for parents by Jeff Nagel
BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
Wings of spring
Hummingbirds – including this rufous – are out in force this spring visiting the five feeders at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island in Delta.
B.C.’S ANTI-GANG police unit is taking a step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) is the integrated team of 400 officers and civilians from 14 different agencies, including RCMP and municipal police forces, that disrupt and suppress organized crime around the province. Their investigations have cracked big cases, such as the discovery of an audacious cross-border drug-smuggling tunnel in Aldergrove and the unraveling of a massive international money-laundering ring. The CFSEU is now out to capture a bigger public profile with the publication of its first-ever Community Report. The report can be read online at bc-anti-gang.com Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the aim is to make more people aware of the CFSEU and what it does. The initiative comes as the anti-gang force chalks up a major win – the arrest in February of three men in the murder of notorious gangster Jonathan Bacon, who was shot with four associates in 2011 outside a Kelowna casino.
