The balance is generated from courses and accommodation at the Canadian Police College, pension administration costs and technological services including access to police databases.

Notes:

  1. The RCMP is one of four Pilot Departments testing and implementing the new TB Policies on Investment Planning and Project Management. As a result of the RCMP's approved Investment Plan (approved March 2009), new project authorities were obtained such that new projects are now assessed based on level of complexity and risk to determine if they fall within the RCMP's Organizational Project Management Capacity Rating, and therefore, do not require approval by TB.
  2. Projects included in the DPR are for those projects which required TB approval prior to receipt of the new increased authorities (referenced above) or which fall outside of the RCMP's authority based on the new Investment Plan.
  3. Project details for Original and Revised Estimated Total costs and Actual Costs to date align, where appropriate, with the RCMP's Investment Plan reflect the RCMP's portion only, net of GST and ARLU transfer to PWGSC.
  4. Project details/expenditures are for capital only and exclude any O&M expenditures related to the above-projects.
  5. "Major Projects - HQ's - Pacific, Atlantic and NCR; a) Pacific Region - The variance accounts for previous years expenses falling under O & M, recent TB approval has granted $41 M of capital dollars. b) Atlantic and NCR Regions - The variance accounts rebalancing of O & M to capital."

    * EPA - effective project approval


Status Report on Major Crown/Transformational Projects

Real Time Identification (RTID)

Description:

The Real Time Identification (RTID) Project is a re-engineering of systems and processes used for fingerprint identification, civil clearances and criminal records management. RTID is transforming the current paper-based workflow to an electronic workflow, enabling the “real time” identification of fingerprints submitted electronically.

Fingerprints are submitted by police agencies to support the creation of a criminal record, or to search the criminal record repository during a criminal investigation or civil security screening. RTID is streamlining these services, facilitating information sharing internationally, and permitting an improved tracking of criminals by condensing identification turnaround times from weeks and months to hours and days. The following are the end state response times for RTID:

  • Two hours for all criminal Ten Print searches (improved from six weeks)
  • 24 hours for all criminal record updates (improved from nine to 12 months)
  • 24 hours for all latent (improved from six weeks)
  • 72 hours for all civil services (improved from five months )

Funding for the RTID Project was announced on April 20, 2004, under the National Security Policy. Between 2001 and 2004, significant work was done by a small project team within the RCMP to define the RTID requirements and prepare statements of work in anticipation of this announcement.

Following the announcement, a Project Charter was developed and a formal Project Office was established under the sponsorship of the former Information and Identification Services of National Police Services (NPS), now Forensic Science & Identification Services (FS&IS) of Policing Support Services (PSS). The Chief Information Officer (CIO) was appointed as Project Leader responsible for achieving the technology improvements associated with this initiative.

Project Phase:

The project was initiated in 2004 and subsequently separated into two major phases. Phase 1 modernized the civil clearance process, implemented a new Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), and developed a new transaction manager, the NPS National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Server, permitting agencies to submit their fingerprint information electronically. Phase 1 was closed-out in 2008.

The scope of Phase 2 includes modernizing the processes related to the management and updating of the criminal records.

RTID is a major business transformation initiative of interest to all agencies within the Public Safety Canada portfolio. Its progress and success in contributing to long-term interoperability is monitored by the stakeholders of the Project Steering Committee.

The Senior Project Advisory Committee (SPAC) is a senior level committee of RCMP, Public Safety Canada and central agency officials that advises the Project Leader on all aspects of the project as it relates to government-wide policies, strategic direction and procurement strategy.

The RTID Project Steering Committee provides ongoing direction to the Project and includes representatives of key federal government departments and central agencies. Oversight of RTID is also linked to existing Public Safety committees.

RTID will be used across Canada and in all jurisdiction levels. Stakeholder involvement is required to ensure the system is useful for all and does not hinder or contravene regulations.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

The RTID Project is within the initial budget approved by Treasury Board (TB) of $129.7M ($136.5M including GST), but has a schedule variance compared to the original baseline in 2004. This schedule variance was caused by a series of factors.

As previously reported, RTID Phase 1 was closed-out from an information technology (IT) perspective in September 2008, 18 months later than previously planned. This schedule and scope variance has been carried over to Phase 2. Phase 2 was planned to be completed by July 2011, but is now being re-evaluated. Factors for this schedule variance include the Phase 1 delay due to the complexities of the system and the procurement process for the Phase 2 fixed-price contract, which was awarded in January 2008.

During the summer of 2009, Treasury Board Secretariat’s (TBS) Chief Information Branch (CIOB) launched a new committee to review Major Crown Information Technology (IT) enabled projects and report to TB Ministers twice per year on the health of such projects. This new Executive Project Oversight Committee (EPOC) recommended that the RCMP conduct an independent review of the RTID Project to help determine the project’s challenges, issues and way forward prior to submitting an amended EPA. The RCMP acted on this recommendation and a report was delivered to the RCMP in February 2010.

The review identified challenges and issues that need to be addressed to ensure that the vision and business benefits can be realized to the fullest. Based upon the review’s recommendations, the RCMP will proceed with an Options Analysis to identify the best strategy to move forward.

Following the Options Analysis, the RCMP will re-baseline the project in order to submit the EPA amendment.

Name of Lead Department(s): The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) leads a multi-organizational, Integrated Security Group known as the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010 ISU). The Departments and Agencies that form the V2010 ISU are: Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Department of National Defence (DND), Health Canada (HC), Industry Canada (IC), Privy Council Office (PCO), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Public Safety Canada (PS) and Transport Canada (TC).

Lead Department Program Activity: Protective Policing Services

Start Date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2004-2005

End Date of the Horizontal Initiative: 2010-2011

Total Federal Funding Allocation (start to end date): Approximately $900M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) leads a multi-organizational, Integrated Security Group known as the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010 ISU), which has had the overall responsibility for coordinating and providing security for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Games.

The participating departments and agencies worked closely together, using a four-phased approach to major event planning: design and planning; a robust exercise and testing stage leading to a declaration of operational readiness; Games operation; and demobilization/debrief.

The overall goal of the V2010 ISU was to provide a “safe and secure game” for the athletes, officials and visitors. This was accomplished through an integrated security model and in close collaboration with partners, including all levels of government, the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee (VANOC) and private corporations.

The total budget for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games is estimated at $900 million, in which the Province of British Columbia cost-shares a portion through a 2010 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Security Cost Sharing Memorandum of Agreement.

b) The ISU developed and successfully executed policing in the Games security area and Urban Domain in the following:

Vehicle Access and Parking Permits (VAPP) allowed approved vehicles to access to the Olympic venues;

Master Delivery Schedule permitted scheduled deliveries to be made to venues within a specified period of time;

Remote Vehicle Screening Sites (RVSS), located away from Olympic facilities, where “dirty” vehicles, goods, and materials were screened and confirmed “clean”;

Material Transfer Areas (MTA) screened all materials intended for entry into secure areas, focusing on goods and materials and not on the delivery vehicle or driver;

Vehicle Screening Areas (VSA) were located at venues and used to screen vehicles, their occupants and cargo;

Pedestrian Screening Areas (PSA) were used to screen people and personal articles for prohibited and illegal or dangerous material;

The Vendor Certification Program (VCP) was an Olympic program whereby sponsors and official suppliers were certified to self-inspect, screen and seal goods prior to delivery at an Olympic venue; and

The Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) was designed to supply temporary electronic security detection for the perimeters of venues.

The “In-Transit” Security Plan provided safe and secure transportation for Olympic athletes, team officials and other designated personnel travelling on the VANOC – Transport Athlete (TA) system.

d) The air security was successful in the following:

Established the Federal Aviation Steering Committee (FASC) to provide senior stakeholder oversight and guidance to the Federal Aviation Technical Working Group (FATWG);

Established the FATWG, which was responsible for the development of aviation safety and security plans to address airspace design, air management, and air traffic enhancement for the Olympic and Paralympic Games;

Established a Registration and Flight Authorization (R&FA) program to perform security checks on flight crew and authorized flight access to the Olympic Controlled Airspace (OCA); and

Established the concept and operations for an Air Services Operations Coordination Centre (ASOCC), a Games-time interagency-staffed organization which enhanced the effectiveness of both air security and overall security operations in the Olympic Theatre.

In summary:

43 days of airspace control measures;

90,000+ aircraft movements recorded;

17,795 aircraft authorized/ released by ISU; and

7,495 aircraft screened through temporary facilities.

6 Air incursions (minor violations of the restrictions)

e). The Marine Security was successful in the following:

Established the Federal Marine Working Technical Group (FMTWG) to develop and assist in the creation of an overall marine and surface safety and security plan for 2010;

Established the concept and operations for an Olympic Marine Operations Centre which was a Games-time interagency-staffed organization whose coordinated actions enhanced the effectiveness of Marine security;

Established a Marine Exercise Working Group (MEWG) that focussed on planning exercise requirements for specific Olympic venue security including regional, national, international and multi-jurisdictional considerations in the development of a comprehensive marine exercise plan; and

Employed a Community Relations Group team member to work with marine stakeholders on an ongoing basis and provided regular marine updates to the public and some interest groups, via briefings and public notices, which clearly ensured our security requirements were well communicated and accepted.

During the operational period there were 23 boats (multiple agencies) on the water and 400 vessels were stopped and/or checked.

f) The JIG was successful in developing reliable and useful intelligence in a timely manner to keep all areas of the ISU and other partner agencies informed of all events and threats relating to the security of the Games.

The Financial Intelligence Investigative Team (FIIT) was established to monitor venue contracting and construction. This was well publicized which is believed to be one of the factors contributing to the lack of evidence of organized crime pertaining to venue construction.

The creation of the Liaison Management Team to cultivate and maintain relationships with domestic and international agencies was able to provide timely and accurate intelligence.

Integration of both the CF and CSIS LO’s and utilization of the Sensitive Information Handling Unit (SIHU) within the JIG was paramount to the timely exchange of intelligence.

g) The overarching priority for Border Integrity during the Olympic period (2010-02-07 to 2010-03-24) was successful in augmenting Olympic Security by focusing on areas of high risk within the Border Integrity areas of responsibility – especially the border. There were no reports or intelligence that indicated any instances of human trafficking, and although there were reports of Border incursions specific to border jumpers there was no information that suggested an Olympic nexus. The actual numbers although up slightly were consistent with the previous year while the apprehension rate increased.

h) The operational support was successful in the following:

The Accreditation, Screening and Validation Team (ASVT) successfully met the challenges of providing Security Background Checks (SBC) for more than 200,000 people.

The establishment of the Olympic Accreditation Working Group (OAWG) encouraged and facilitated discussions between Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Heritage Canada.

The development of the Secure Accreditation Management System (SAMS) provided a secure means of conducting an SBC and provided a legacy capability for the RCMP in future major events.

By the end of the Games, the ASVT had conducted approximately 205,000 SBC on volunteers, security services, work force and Olympic family using SAMS.

The provision of effective operational support throughout the Games period is tied directly to the extensive exercise program that was developed. This allowed for the clear definition of the roles and responsibilities of all the staff in the various command and operations centres located throughout the theatre of operations.

i) The RCMP/ISU delivered effective information technology support through the development of systems by the CIO, most notably EMS and SAMS, by Technical Operations in the form of the SAP, and through the acquisition of off-the-shelf products (Common Operating Picture) and the service contract for PIDS. All systems performed exceptionally well; however, the ISU did have a well-defined Service Level Agreement and a back-up site if the main command centre failed.

DND/CF was able to provide a wide range of unique military capabilities in support of the RCMP to ensure the safety and security of the Games. DND/CF provided support without using any initially identified contingency funding. The Department was able to achieve significant cost reductions and savings due mainly to a review of its concept of support, active contract management and the establishment of financial controls.

CSIS: Actual expenditures were lower than projected resource requirements for the following primary reasons: the number of accreditation requests were substantially lower than projected (i.e., salaries), travel and accommodation costs were lower than projected; and the costs associated with required upgrades to critical facilities were lower than projected.

IC: Expenditures were lower than projected for the following reasons: travel and accommodation costs were considerably lower than projected; there were savings in network systems support and professional services; and a contingency reserve of $1.7 million in capital was not required.

RCMP: The security budget for the RCMP of $492.5M was supplemented by the Olympic Federal Contingency in the amount of $65.5M for a total security budget $558M.

TC: Actual costs at Nav Canada were higher and/or lower than planned resulting in a variance. There was also a reduction in the level of some services provided (determined as not required) resulting in lower labour costs.

Total Federal Funding Allocation (start to end date):

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The mandate of Integrated Border Enforcement Teams (IBETs) is to enhance the integrity of the border between Canada and the United States by identifying, investigating, and interdicting persons and organizations that pose a threat to national security or are engaged in other criminal activity.

Shared Outcome(s):

Enhanced border security and improved international relationships along the shared border by effective information-sharing between Canadian and US law enforcement agencies and collaborative intelligence-led investigations. In April of 2009 senior members of all five IBET core agencies as well as key partners from the Governments of Canada and the United States met to develop the IBET Strategic Vision. The Framework for achieving this vision by 2015 was created. The Strategic Vision would see fully integrated and co-located teams strategically located along the US and Canadian border. The teams will have dedicated funding and personnel that conduct joint enforcement operations on both sides of the border based on joint threat/risk assessments. IBET will operate within a common governance model and continuum with appropriate Canada/US legislation. The IBET Strategic Vision will transform border control through enhanced and integrated operations, technology and infrastructure, and will ultimately improve our ability to identify and interdict threats to the security of the border.

Governance Structure(s):

Providing program oversight and direction, the International Joint Management Team (IJMT) is composed of senior officials from the five core agencies: RCMP, CBSA, Department of Homeland Security (US Customs Border Protection/Border Patrol, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, US Coast Guard). Regional Joint Management Teams (JMT) for each of the 15 IBET regions provide joint decision making and direction to the IBET program at a local level. The National Coordination Team (NCT) is comprised of representatives of the five core partners at the Headquarters level and provides policy direction for the participating agencies and the program as well as facilitating the objectives of the Smart Border Accord and the IBET mandate.

Advancements in technology have provided IBETs with situational awareness including analytical, intelligence and predictive abilities which enhanced response to border incursions and effective planning of border enforcement operations. This was demonstrated during the course of V2010 Operations when fully integrated, sensor, video and radar systems were deployed along the B.C. - Washington State border. IBETs continue to seek innovative technological solutions for border security. IBETs actively engage border communities through awareness and outreach activities, seeking their collaboration on law enforcement issues to ensure a balanced approach to border security. Additionally, effective information sharing has enhanced the ability of IBETs to better identify, assess and interdict threats to public safety and national security.

Results achieved by non-federal partners (if applicable):

The IBET core partners include US Customs Border Protection/Border Patrol, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the US Coast Guard, all part of the Department of Homeland Security. The IBET program contributes significantly to their objective to enhance border integrity between Canada and the United States by identifying, investigating, and interdicting persons and organizations that pose a threat to national security or are engaged in other organized criminal activity. These agencies are committed to the IBET program to achieve the Smart Border Accord Plan goal to ensure the: 1. secure flow of people; 2. the secure flow of goods; 3. secure infrastructure; and 4. the coordination and information sharing in the enforcement of these objectives.

Green Procurement

Meeting Policy Requirements

Has the department incorporated environmental performance considerations in its procurement decision-making processes?

Yes

Summary of initiatives to incorporate environmental performance considerations in procurement decision-making processes:

RCMP Green Procurement Working Group to help develop, coordinate and advance Green Procurement in the RCMP.

Mandatory green procurement training for all RCMP procurement officers (using the Canadian School of Public Service online Green Procurement course).

Purchase and increased use of scanners for procurement officers.

Promotion of duplex printing for procurement file documents.

Results achieved:

The Green Procurement Working Group has held three meetings since its inception including an information session provided by the Office of Greening Government Operations. The working group has made progress in identifying green procurement initiatives and suggesting policy direction.

All new procurement officers are required to complete the online CSPS Green Procurement course. Existing procurement staff have all completed the course.

The HQ Procurement office bought five new scanners to share amongst existing staff. Documents that would normally be printed and sent via mail or fax are now sent electronically via e-mail, thereby reducing the use of printer paper, fax machines and mail services.

All procurement staff were encouraged to use the duplex function when printing documents for distribution or filing.

Contributions to facilitate government-wide implementation of green procurement:

Participation on the Office of Greening Government Operations – Green Procurement Forum.

Green Procurement Targets

Has the department established green procurement targets?

Yes

Summary of green procurement targets:

Completion of CSPS online Green Procurement Course by 100% of materiel managers and procurement personnel. This training will provide the working level with the necessary understanding of the basic concepts of green procurement in the federal government environment.

Increasing the degree of utilization of PWGSC Standing offer agreements (SOA) respecting Green Procurement, using an already assessed “green” procurement tool.

Increasing the purchase of alternative fuels and widening the use of hybrid vehicles in the RCMP fleet in order to reduce the RCMP's overall emission of greenhouse gases.

Increasing compliance and effective use of the corporate tracking system for green procurement activities in order to gain a better measure of green procurement activities.

Results achieved:

70% of materiel managers and procurement personnel completed the CSPS online Green Procurement course.

The RCMP processed 1,417 call-ups against PWGSC standing offers respecting green procurement. This represents a 1.5% increase (as a percentage of overall call-up activity) from the previous year.

4.5% of all fuel purchased in 2009-2010 was E10 blended. For comparative purposes, the E10 percentage to overall fuel purchased for 2008-2009 was 6% and for 2007-2008 it was 2%.

Indicating whether or not a contract was “green procurement” is now a mandatory reporting field in our financial management system (TEAM). This allows for more accurate and timely reporting.
