What it does
The Preventive Security and Intelligence Program contributes to the Care and Custody of inmates through the provision of intelligence information to inform and guide operational decisions in a tactical and/or strategic manner throughout all levels of the organization. Through the collection, analysis and sharing of intelligence information, the Preventive Security and Intelligence program directly contributes to security operations and interventions.
Key activities include gathering and sharing information and intelligence to prevent security incidents, disrupt illegal activity and support the case management process; continually assessing threats and risks to identify and mitigate internal and external threats to the safety of individuals (offenders, staff and public), institutions and community operational sites; collaborating, liaising and sharing information with justice partners both domestically and internationally; identifying and managing security threat groups; and preventing, intercepting, and eliminating illegal or threatening activities.
