BC's new Premier, Dave Eby, has a plan to curb violent crime in British Columbia.

It's being called the "Safer BC Community Action Plan". Eby also wants the ability to seize assets like expensive homes and cars from gang members.

The core of the Safer BC Community Action Plan is improving coordination between the justice system, non-profits, cities, provincial government, and indigenous people to create safer communities.

The Safer BC Community Action Plan has two key tracks

- ENFORCEMENT that recognizes zero tolerance for violent crime

- INTERVENTION that helps people break the cycle of life in and out of jail

The hope is this will prevent crime before it happens

The "new plan" involves setting up coordinated "response teams" to address the issue of violent offenders.

The teams will be made up of police, dedicated prosecutors, and probation officers to prevent violent crime before it happens.

When a violent crime does happen the goal is to have violent offenders remain in custody while awaiting trial, not out in the community putting people at risk.
