Staff Sergeant Gerrit Brouwer

The Provincial Joint Forces Cannabis Enforcement Team (PJFCET) is a specialized unit within the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) dedicated to enforcing cannabis laws and investigating criminal enterprises that exploit or abuse the legal cannabis market. Established after the legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada, the PJFCET comprises members from the OPP and several municipal police services, including Kingston, Hamilton, Barrie, Waterloo Regional, Sarnia, Windsor, London, and Niagara Regional Police Services. Over the past two years, the team has executed 152 warrants across Ontario, resulting in the seizure of over 180,000 cannabis plants, thousands of pounds of dried cannabis, edibles, concentrates, and other illicit drugs, along with $3.2 million in Canadian currency and more than $1.8 million in proceeds from crime such as property, vehicles, and firearms. Additionally, the PJFCET has laid 1,176 federal Cannabis Act and Criminal Code charges. The team’s efforts have led to the closure of 78 illegal cannabis storefronts and the dismantling of large-scale illegal production facilities, significantly impacting the illegal cannabis market in Ontario.
