Vancouver Police chief says he will follow Justin Trudeau's lead on marijuana
Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer says his department is in a good position to adapt to new marijuana laws if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau follows through on his promise to legalize the drug.
The city already has a progressive approach to softer drugs, he noted.
"My focus, since I've been chief, and with the prior chief as well, the focus was on more serious drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin and the violence associated to that."Ultimately, police will follow the new Canadian government's lead, he said.
"I know the Liberals have said they are going to legalize it for possession of small amounts of marijuana. Whatever the law of the land is, the police department will roll with it."
Vancouver Chief Const. Adam Palmer has said, in the past, that his officers will not crack down on the city's marijuana dispensaries. (CBC)
