The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit is the specialised organized crime “integrated anti-gang police agency” in British Columbia.
With nearly 400 officers, this British Columbia unit is “the third largest police ‘force'” in the province and is the largest integrated police program in Canada. Its personnel come from every police agency in the province, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The “E” Division Headquarters of the RCMP serves as the unit’s headquarters of operations in Metro Vancouver. The special enforcement unit is completely represented throughout the province thanks to coordinated operations in all of its locations.
The goal of the unit is to identify and take down the organized crime organizations and individuals who pose the greatest threat to public safety by participating in gang warfare throughout British Columbia.
