Established in 2006, the Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO) is a key part of the province's anti-gang and anti-money laundering strategy. Managing both the Civil Forfeiture Act (the Act) and the Crime Victim Management Act, the CFO generates more than $10-$20 million per year through the forfeiture and liquidation of tens of thousands of assets located around the province. More than half of the money generated from forfeitures is used for community grants for crime prevention and remediation programs, and to pay victim compensation.
The Act provides the Director with the authority to commence proceedings against proceeds of unlawful activity and instruments used in unlawful activity using the civil law process via the BC Supreme Court or an administrative process (Part 3.1 of the Act).
The CFO has information sharing agreements with the police, other law enforcement agencies, and provincial and federal government bodies. The CFO works closely with foreign governments and other organizations as the Director assesses information about unlawful activities and prepares civil court actions with the legal team. The information shared may be highly confidential in nature, particularly as persons of interest may not have been charged with or convicted of any crimes in a criminal court. The information may relate to ongoing law enforcement investigations, including investigations of organized crime, as well as the personal and financial circumstances of persons of interest.
Reporting to the Program Evaluation Manager, this position supports the operational, financial, logistical, and administrative requirements necessary for the day-to-day operation of the CFO. The three positions within this group are responsible for receiving and processing confidential and sensitive file information and budget development support, as well as document management, information gathering and preliminary file assessment. This position has a greater focus on budget development support, coordinating STOB projections (including salary), providing information on financial policy, procedures and controls and day-to-day financial transactions of the office.
