What it does

This Program produces and delivers actionable criminal intelligence products and services for federal, provincial, municipal and Indigenous senior decision-makers, both within and outside the law enforcement community, on serious crime and organized crime-related threats. It also coordinates national law enforcement efforts to assess, report, share and store information on organized crime groups to support multi-jurisdictional / multi-partner operations by the law enforcement community in Canada, including the RCMP. It provides timely, relevant and accurate intelligence, as well as in-depth analysis of organized crime related issues and criminal markets to further inform the coordination and prioritization of targeting decisions by the law enforcement community. Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) leverages partnerships with over 350 law enforcement member organizations in Canada to provide relevant and timely intelligence that assist the law enforcement community with identifying, investigating and disrupting high priority organized crime threats, and potential criminal threats in Canada and abroad.
