Council approved enhanced collaborative patrols between Prince George Fire Rescue, Prince George Bylaw Services and the RCMP in the downtown core area.
The goal of these patrols is to reduce the number of fires and burning complaints in the downtown area, with the further goal of reducing property damage stemming from these fires.
These joint patrols will be between the hours of 10 p.m and 3-4 a.m three times per week for four to six weeks (12 to 18 patrols). Existing budgets for each department will absorb the costs of the extra patrols.
