Cops said Project Due Diligence began on Nov. 28 in response to increasing complaints about narcotics trafficking and lawless behaviour in the area, contributing to violent incidents affecting local businesses and residents.
“We recognized the significant impact that the lawless public behaviour of some individuals was having on our residents and local businesses in the Cooksville area,” Peel Regional Police Supt. Harry Dhillon, commander of 12 Division, said in a statement.

The project also allowed us to build relationships with local residents and businesses to ensure we keep an open dialogue of the concerns they are facing,”
