RCMP Release Year In Review Report

The provincial RCMP's 2009-2010 Year in Review Report shows the province's crime reduction strategy is yielding results.

RCMP tell us property crime has dropped by 5.6 per cent and drug enforcement efforts have gone up by 14 per cent since 2007.

The province's commanding officer, Wayne Lang says they want to make New Brunswick the safest province in Canada, but need to improve on highway safety and diverting at-risk youth away from criminal behaviour to make that happen.
