The Departments and Agencies that form the V2010 ISU are: Department of National Defence (DND), Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Industry Canada (IC), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Transport Canada (TC), Public Safety Canada (PS), Privy Council Office (PCO) and Health Canada (HC)

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): approx. $900 million

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

As the lead agency responsible for the development and delivery of the 2010 Winter Games security, 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 the overall responsibility for coordinating and providing security for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

The participating Departments and Agencies work 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 is to provide a “safe and secure game” for the athletes, officials and visitors. This will be 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.

Shared outcomes:

The following are shared outcomes by the Games Security and Public Safety partners:

When a safety or security incident did occur it did not result in a disruption to the Games.

An integrated Venue Command Centre was operational and there was continuous level of policing in the venue throughout the Games operations; an effective multi-agency security force was operational throughout the Games; safe and secure movement of athletes, team officials, and other accredited individuals between athlete villages, and venues, for those persons who chose to utilize the system; private security provides a skilled workforce to effectively screen pedestrians and goods for weapons prior to entering the venue; the Access Control effectively prohibited unauthorized vehicles, materials and people from entering designated areas, unless otherwise authorized.

The Canadian Forces' unique military capabilities, in support of RCMP operations, enhanced the security and the safety of the Games.

The Integrated Aviation Safety and Security Plan effectively prohibited unauthorized aircraft from entering the Olympic Control Area [OCA(Olympic Airspace)], unless otherwise authorized, and where OCA breaches did occur it effectively responded to the breach.

There was effective protection of all Olympic waterside venues with integrated partners.

The intelligence collected, collated, analyzed and disseminated was as accurate as possible, was delivered in a timely manner, and provided a forum for effective decision making for the management and personnel involved in the security apparatus of the Games.

There was no illegal entry into Canada between the ports of entry; there was no illegal entry into Canada at the ports of entry; and reports of international/organized crime related to human trafficking were responded to.

The screening system and background checks of individuals accessing secured areas provided a reasonable level of confidence; there was sufficient funding in support of the security objectives; and the mobilized resources had the necessary tools to fulfill objectives.

The Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) and Secure Access Program (SAP) provided a level of confidence to the Venue Commander of the perimeter integrity; information gathered by air-based surveillance system was readily available to tactical commanders; decision makers received the information required for tactical and strategic decision making; and sustained technology and telecommunications that complements operations was also readily available.

The information collected will be used as a tool and best practice for future events held in
Canada.

Governance structures:

The Games Security and Public Safety group has completed a security Results-based Management and Accountability Framework (RMAF) as required by Treasury Board Secretariat. The RMAF formalizes the federal commitment of the RCMP and its federal partners to be accountable for the implementation of this initiative. The RMAF describes the roles and responsibilities of Key Federal Departments and Agencies participating in this horizontal initiative, as well as its goals and objectives, its related components and expected results, and a coordinated performance measurement and evaluation plan.

The Commissioner of the RCMP reports to the Minister of Public Safety Canada. The participating departments/agencies have a working relationship with the RCMP and report to their respective Ministers.

The Deputy Ministers Working Group is chaired by the Coordinator for 2010 Olympics and G8 Security. This working group is comprised of the respective Security Departments and Agencies participating as members in order to facilitate an integrated federal approach to security.

Planning Highlights:

Exercise Gold will allow the Games Security and Public Safety group to confirm their level of preparedness and interoperability.
