In September 2007, after a dramatic rise in organized crime and gang violence, the police in British Columbia undertook a number of initiatives to minimize the risk to public safety. As a result, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit focused their resources on the most visible and violent Organized Crime groups in the Lower Mainland. These two groups, the Bacon/Red Scorpions Group and the United Nations Gang were involved in regional and international Drug trafficking and the violence that accompanies it.

The investigational requirements in respect to the Internet appear to arise from two potentially different environments.
The first is the use of the Internet to commit offences as the result of its unique capability as a very efficient communication device. This is the use of the Internet to transfer information which is by the nature of its content, or connotation of its meaning, illegal or serves to advance an illegal act. Considering the use of the Internet from only this perspective, examples of such unlawful acts would be the distribution of child pornography, hatred, stolen information, or the conveying of criminally relevant information such as directions in furtherance of a drug deal, or information to advance a theft.
