B.C. & Baja MexicoTo Co-operate On Cross-Border Crime

Mar 30 2009

In an effort to more effectively confront and prosecute organized and gang crime, British Columbia and Baja California (Mexico) have agreed to begin sharing information about criminal activities that transcend international borders.  On March 23, 2009, the attorney generals of British Columbia and Baja California (Mexico), Wally Oppal and Rommel Moreno Manjarrez, signed off on a statement of intent for this purpose. 

The two regions will discuss the opportunities for sharing information in areas like best practices, training and administrative procedures, in order to prevent such criminal activities as, among others, human and weapons trafficking, money laundering, Internet crimes against children, and offenders fleeing the jurisdiction.
