BC NDP

  • Double capacity for the Repeat Violent Offending Intervention Initiative to monitor repeat offenders

    "The BC NDP will double the successful repeat offending programs. In two years since implementation, the Repeat Violent Offending Intervention Initiative has shown success:

    1. reduced police interactions with participants by 50%;
    2. reduced violent offences committed by participants by 56%; and
    3. increased charge approvals from Crown counsel.

    Expanded to property-crime offenders this summer, the repeat-offending programs can monitor as many as 870 people. By doubling capacity for these offending hubs, the BC NDP will help reduce street disorder, vandalism, and shoplifting in communities across the province."

  • Set immediate provincial penalties for people caught with illegal guns and involved in gang activity, including suspending driving and business licenses

    "A BC NDP government will also pursue immediate provincial penalties for people caught with illegal guns and involved in gang activity, wherever the law allows, including driving suspensions and loss of access to business licenses. Criminal penalties are set by Ottawa, and the BC NDP will keep pushing for federal changes to keep violent offenders off the street." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13 (the article lists its publish date as 2026-10-14, despite being published the day before)

  • Dedicate a unit to focus on extortion, racketeering, and gang violence

    "The BC NDP will also hire 50 additional Crown prosecutors and dedicate a unit to focus on extortion, racketeering and gang violence. Pairing this work with the BC Extortion Task Force would put more criminals behind bars." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13 (the article lists its publish date as 2026-10-14, despite being published the day before)

Additionally, through the Federal-Provincial-Territorial ministers’ forum, it would press for a coordinated national approach to investigating and deterring white nationalist, white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13
