What it does

The Law Enforcement and Policing Program’s mandate fulfills the Minister’s legislative responsibilities to initiate, recommend, coordinate, implement and promote policing policies, programs, projects, and specific accountabilities associated with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, including the establishment of strategic priorities. Under this program, Public Safety provides strategic policy advice to support the Minister in carrying out these responsibilities. The Department directs collaborative efforts and consultations with key partners, such as provinces, territories and stakeholder associations to promote information sharing, cohesion and cooperation on cross-cutting issues and areas such as the Community Safety Initiative, firearms policy, strategic and operational policing policy, RCMP Police Services Agreements, RCMP governance and oversight, and security for major international events. As part of its responsibilities under this program, Public Safety also administers two transfer payment programs: the Major International Event Security Cost Framework and the Nation’s Capital Extraordinary Policing Costs Program.

No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
