What it does
The Operational IM/IT Services program supports the RCMP’s overarching mandate for increased safety for the public through direct and indirect support to policing operations. The focus is looking to the future of policing, enabling the RCMP to continue to be a leader in the delivery of public safety and policing services. This program enables policing operations by providing digitally enabled tools and technologies that allow for an increased operational presence, as well as by supporting information sharing internally and across the law enforcement community.
