ALERT reached the half-billion dollar milestone in late 2013, and the dollar figure is based on estimated potential street values of the drugs. If laid end-to-end in $100 bills, the total of $511,970,145 worth of drugs seized between 2007 and the end of December 2013 would reach from Fort McMurray to Lethbridge.
The most valuable drug seized in terms of total value has been marihuana, followed by cocaine and methamphetamine.
“The drug trade is directly tied to much of Alberta’s serious and violent crimes and by targeting organized crime groups ALERT has lowered the rates of victimization related to drugs, weapons and fraud offences,” said ALERT CEO Charmaine Bulger.
To date, ALERT has also seized more than 400 firearms and arrested nearly 7,000 offenders. ALERT was established and is funded by the Alberta government to bring together the province’s most sophisticated law enforcement resources. It includes nearly 400 municipal police, RCMP and sheriffs.
