Fort St. John RCMP report success of new gang enforcement team

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John RCMP detachment has reported successes in gang enforcement and a decrease in property crimes involving vehicles in November. 

The detachment’s November 2025 report was provided to the City of Fort St. John council in the January 12th agenda package.

Sergeant Jaime Moffat, the acting officer in charge, reported positive reductions in gun and drug-related violence, which was prevalent in Fort St. John towards the end of 2025. 

The province’s Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General announced in December the North District Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (ND-UGET) had been established to work out of Prince George to support northeast B.C. with combatting organized crime activity. 

“The Uniformed Gang Enforcement Team, supported by our Fort St. John Street Enforcement Team, deployed throughout the city and area for 10 days in November, which resulted in a significant suppression and displacement in gun and drug-related violence,” Moffat wrote. 

“A highlight of the enforcement revealed 18 arrests, four firearms seized and 19 possessions of drug (trafficking/possession) investigations amongst other enforcement actions.” 

Moffat also explained the detachment saw a decrease in property crimes against vehicles in comparison to its October 2025 report.

Theft of a vehicle over/under $5,000 went down from eight in October to six in November and theft from a motor vehicle over/under $5,000 decreased from 14 offences in October to six in November. 

Shoplifting incidents also saw a decrease, with 13 incidents reported in November compared to 15 in October.

Breaking and entering to business and residences incidents increased in November however, going from six in October to 14 in November. According to Moffat, two of the four business break and enters were to outside yards and sea cans.

“In reviewing the residential break-in files, a few were evicted tenants returning to their rental,” Moffat said. 

The report also detailed an increase in collisions within the city limits during November, with 38 reports made in November compared to 27 in October. Mental health association calls also increased from 15 calls in October to 18 in November. 

According to the report, the detachment received 10,793 calls for service from January 1st to the end of November, which was a decrease of approximately 7.6 per cent compared to the same period in 2024.
