The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, Code Enforcement Cannabis Team, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, the Sheriffs Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and San Bernardino County Fire Hazmat Emergency Response were recently honored with an award at the California Hazardous Materials Investigators Association (CHMIA) annual conference.
CHMIA is a non-profit and public benefit corporation that encourages the cooperation and coordination of environmental crime investigations conducted by law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state and local levels. It also facilitates and promotes educational programs related to environmental laws and regulations; environmental enforcement; and environmental crime investigations.
The award recognizes San Bernardino County for its local coordination and environmental cannabis enforcement efforts with special recognition going to the following: the Board of Supervisors, Code Enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office, the Sheriff’s Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and San Bernardino County Fire Hazmat Emergency Response.
San Bernardino County, Code Enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office and the San Bernardino County’s MET have been leaders in cannabis enforcement/remediation efforts throughout the County.
“No other county in the State of California has even come close to what your county has accomplished when it comes to cannabis-related environmental enforcement,” said Hasti Javid, Vice President for CHMIA. “To have the Board of Supervisors step up and support Sheriff MET, Code Enforcement, and the DA’s Office in an effort to better serve and protect the community members and the environment is, in itself, worthy of recognition alone. Overall, the County of San Bernardino is a great example of community members coming together to voice their concerns and local government coming together to address those concerns. You should be very proud of what your teams have accomplished.” The San Bernardino County team was honored to receive this award and will continue to lead the way in cannabis enforcement/remediation efforts throughout the County.
