“The Crime Gun Intelligence and Investigations Group (CGIIG) of CFSEU-BC links firearm intelligence, analysis and enforcement efforts towards results like this,” said Inspector Joel Hussey, operations officer for CFSEU-BC. “Privately made firearms represent a growing trend in British Columbia and internationally by which criminals attempt to obtain firearms and to profit from firearms sales. CFSEU-BC is working closely with its partners across the province to investigate and disrupt the people and groups who may seek to illegally make and sell firearms.”

CFSEU says it is the largest integrated police program in Canada, made up of members from every police department in B.C., including the RCMP, and are the third largest police “force” in the province with over 400 officers. Headquartered in Metro Vancouver, and based out of the RCMP E division headquarters, CFSEU-BC is fully and successfully represented through the province.
