Victoria to add near 100 traffic police under ICBC deal
Local police chiefs will gain control of almost 100 new officers to crack down on unsafe driving under a five year ICBC funded contract. The integrated traffic enforcement unit will be deployed by local police, with ICBC sponsoring policing programs amid debate over cost and priorities. Fines rise by 20 dollars from February 1, with an early payment discount reducing speeding tickets from 120 to 95 dollars.

Stronger youth measures push public safety in BC
Attorney General Geoff Plant introduces the Youth Justice Act to raise penalties for serious provincial statute offences by youth. The act allows custody for six serious offences previously limited to probation and tightens consequences for driving while prohibited and contraband in custody. Officials highlight collaboration with police and communities to deter gang involvement and street racing while modernizing BC youth justice to align with federal policy.
