GROW-OPS, CRIME PREVENTION TOP BUSINESS PLAN

York Regional Police will emphasize crime prevention programs and the
elimination of marijuana grow operations, according to a three-year
business plan released by the service. The plan is a road map for
policing services here and was developed partly through an extensive
survey of the region's residents, according to Chief Armand La Barge.

Fighting child abuse, child pornography and violent crime are also
high priorities of the plan, along with increasing police visibility
by putting more officers on the street.

The plan is available in a PDF format at http://www.yrp.ca and copies are
available at police headquarters or any district station.
