The Integrated Gang Task Force (IGTF)
The BC Integrated Gang Task Force was created in October 2004 to address ongoing gang violence within the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and the Province of British Columbia. The joint management structure brings together resources from Vancouver Police, RCMP, Abbotsford Police, Delta Police, New Westminster Police, Port Moody Police and West Vancouver Police.
Their mandate is to target individuals or groups that pose a significant risk to public safety by prosecuting, disrupting and dismantling crime groups through unified enforcement.
BC IGTF is a prime example of inter-agency cooperation, with all levels of police agencies sharing intelligence on individuals or groups that have been identified as belonging to gangs, to ensure all communities are protected.
