Governance structures:

The Games Security and Public Safety Group has completed a security Results-based Management Accountability Framework (RMAF) as required by the 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 and G20 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.

Name of lead department(s): Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Lead department program activity: Federal & International Operations

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: May 2002

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: Not applicable

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): Ongoing

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The mandate of Integrated Border Enforcement Teams (IBETs) is 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.

Shared outcomes:

There will be enhanced border security coverage and improved international relationships along the shared border, as a result of focusing on improving information-sharing between Canadian and US law enforcement agencies and conducting intelligence-led investigations. Border-related investigations, based on intelligence from all IBET partners, will be more effective, rather than random enforcement activity. Law enforcement interoperability will improve with the development of a technically successful communications system linking multi-agencies that will facilitate joint operations, while addressing health and safety concerns for law enforcement officers along the 49th parallel.

Governance structures: International Joint Management Team (IJMT), regional Joint Management Teams (JMT), National Coordination Team (NCT).

Planning Highlights:

• Improving operational integration of IBETs through co-location
• Enhancing IBET program profile through an IBET communications strategy
• Re-defining and implementing an enhanced reporting mechanism and metrics
  

Federal Partner: The RCMP is the only agency that receives funding for the IBET program. There are no other Federal Partners receiving funding for IBET.

Name of Horizontal Initiative: Investments to Combat the Criminal Use of Firearms (ICCUF)

Name of lead department(s): Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

Lead department program activity: Canadian Firearms Program

Start date of the Horizontal Initiative: May 2004

End date of the Horizontal Initiative: Ongoing

Total federal funding allocation (start to end date): Originally $49.9 million over 5 years, now extended indefinitely (see Total Allocation).

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The overall aim of the ICCUF is to improve the national collection, analysis and sharing of firearms-related intelligence and information. Funding is distributed within the RCMP to the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP), Criminal Intelligence (CI) and the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC). The initiative also provides funds to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Public Safety Canada (PSC).

The ICCUF directly supports the Government’s objective to tackle violent crime (especially firearms-related offences in relation to organized crime and street gangs), as outlined in the 2008 Speech from the Throne.

Shared outcome(s): Enhance the RCMP and CBSA’s capacity to gather, analyze and share criminal intelligence in order to improve individual investigations, and to increase knowledge of the extent and patterns of smuggling and trafficking of firearms used in crime. These will support the development of an intelligence-led national enforcement strategy.

Governance structure(s): A Joint Management Team (JMT) coordinates ICCUF efforts. Partners will be heavily involved in JMT meetings.

Planning Highlights:

Public safety in Canada continues to be threatened by the criminal use of firearms, many of which are smuggled into the country or otherwise illegally obtained. Analysis of trafficking patterns is improving as more information is collected from the field.

Law enforcement will be directly supported with high quality technical and investigative services and expertise from the CFP and its ICCUF partners in the investigation and prevention of firearms related crimes. There will be a focus on analysis and sharing of firearms related intelligence and information on smuggling and trafficking patterns.

Description:

The Real Time Identification (RTID) Project was designed to facilitate the timely and efficient exchange of criminal records and fingerprint information and is a re-engineering of systems and business processes used for fingerprint identification, civil clearances and criminal records maintenance. It will transform 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 will streamline these services, facilitate information sharing internationally, and permit an improved tracking of criminals by condensing identification turnaround times from weeks and months to hours and days.

The original RTID business case was approved as part of the Preliminary Project Approval (PPA) submitted in December 2004. Treasury Board Effective Project Approval (EPA) for Phase 1 dated October 2005 and EPA for Phase 2 dated June 2007 were both granted. Funding for the RTID Project was announced on April 20, 2004, under the National Security Policy.

The Project was established under the sponsorship of National Police Services. The Chief Information Officer was appointed Project Leader, responsible for achieving the technology improvements associated with the project. The business owner is the Assistant Commissioner, Forensic Science and Identification Services. From a project governance perspective, the RTID Project Director reports to both the Chief Information Officer and the Assistant Commissioner, Forensic Science and Identification Services.

Project Phase:

The Project is being delivered in two major Phases. RTID Phase 1 modernized the civil clearance process by replacing the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and implementing a new transaction manager, permitting agencies to submit their fingerprint information electronically. Phase 1 was closed from an Information Technology perspective in September 2008.

The scope of RTID Phase 2 has been amended based on recommendations made by an Independent Review conducted in 2010. Project work continues to refine the foundational systems delivered in Phase 1. This component of the project is in implementation phase.

Planning for the delivery of the remaining criminal records processing (disposition) requirements will follow the successful modernization of phase 1.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

The RTID Project is in the process of amending its Effective Project Approval (EPA) in order to re-establish the approval authority. The Independent Review and the subsequent options analysis recommended a “right–sized approach with a funding shortfall.” An amended EPA submission to Treasury Board will be submitted in the spring of 2011 to re-baseline the project schedule. No additional funding will be requested as the shortfall will be funded through the RCMP’s annual reference levels.

Industrial Benefits

There are no industrial benefits of the Real Time Identification Project.
