Delta wants to send a message that grow-ops and meth labs will not be tolerated.
On Monday council approved a Public Safety Initiative that will see the creation of a multi-agency team to initiate inspections of properties based on complaints and other indicators of potential safety hazards, such as building structure modified without proper authorization or records of unusually high power consumption.
The team of fire inspectors, building inspectors, bylaw enforcement officers and an electrical contractor takes its cue from a similar program in Surrey. Delta staff reported revenues generated through inspection fees could offset the staffing costs to run the program.
