ABBOTSFORD POLICE GO GREEN
A new Abbotsford Police initiative to fight marijuana grow operations
is reaping rewards.
The APD Green Team, a new project to get patrol officers involved in
busting grow ops, has seized an estimated $918,000 worth of marijuana
since its inception at the beginning of the year, said Const. Ian MacDonald.
The project involves two patrol members with previous drug squad
experience mentoring other officers in the patrol section to procure
and execute drug warrants, he said.
It also allows patrol officers to develop the experience they need
should they want to move into the drug squad and gang suppression or
crime reduction units.
The Green Team has busted seven marijuana grow operations to date.
