Summary: The purpose of this report is to provide a closer examination of this decline in submissions over this recent five-year period with a view to determining the extent to which the decrease may be related to either a change in police practices with respect to drug offences, or simply a very real decline in drug offending across the province. To this end, the primary analysis upon which the report was formed focused as near as possible on a comparative 2004 to 2008 analysis of submissions to the Health Canada Drug Analysis Service Laboratory relative to drug offences coming to the attention of police agencies in British Columbia over the same time period.
