excessive electricity consumption is often an indicator of a serious safety hazard.
Properties, which exceed the mandated threshold of 93 kwh/day, would be reviewed and inspected.
The PSIT inspects homes which are using more than 93 kwh/day of electricity and are observed to show signs of being a controlled substance property.
If the three-person inspection team reaches a consensus that there is no obvious reason for the property to be consuming abnormal amounts of electricity, or that the property exhibits one of the obvious signs of a controlled substance property, a notice of inspection is posted to the door of the property indicating that the PSIT will return for a home inspection in 24 hours.
24 hours later, the PSIT returns to perform a property inspection for safety reasons, a RCMP officer is within sight distance (typically at the end of the driveway). If the resident of the property grants access to PSIT, the team performs an inspection, which typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes. If PSIT is denied access the team leaves and returns the next day with a warrant from a Justice of the Peace. If the warrant specifies, an RCMP member may accompany the PSIT inside the property for the inspection.
This is not a raid
