What it does
The National Cybercrime Coordination Centre (NC3) Program works with law enforcement and other partners to help reduce the threat, impact and victimization of cybercrime in Canada by providing the specialized investigative skills, national leadership and coordination required to address the complex and technical nature of cybercrime investigations. This Program provides support services internally to RCMP cybercrime investigations, and externally to Canadian and international law enforcement partners. The NC3 works closely with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) to establish the National Cybercrime and Fraud Public Reporting System (NCFRS) to make it easier for victims to report incidents of cybercrime and fraud online. The CAFC is Canada’s central repository for information on fraud, which has been useful in detecting, preventing, and reducing the impact of fraud within Canada. The CAFC has a robust mandate that includes assisting citizens and businesses to recognize, reject and report fraud, as well as supporting operations and investigations carried out by law enforcement and regulatory bodies in Canada and globally.
