h) Coordinated federal family through ADM-EMC V2010 Sub-Committee meetings, convened daily throughout duration of Games.

Linkages across all levels of government were maintained to ensure timely information flow through daily ADM-EMC meetings as well as Regional Operations Liaison Officer presence in the Government Operations Centre, the Integrated Security Unit, the PREOC and the TCC throughout the Games.

Led communications coordination on safety and security of the 2010 Winter Games through the 2010 Government Partners Public Affairs Group (GPPAG) Security and Public Safety . The GPPAG provided unprecedented coordination of partners from federal, provincial and municipal governments as well as crown corporations and private industry with a primary or supporting role in security and public safety.

Facilitated coordination and Public Safety Canada Communications set up the 2010 Government Partners Public Affairs Centre (GPPAC) in Vancouver during the Games. Public affairs partners from the Province of British Columbia , Integrated Security Unit, Canada Border Services Agency, DND, Canadian Heritage, Department of Foreign Affairs and the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) were co-located with PS Canada staff.

b) The ISU developed and successfully executed policing in the Games security area and Urban Domain in the following:

Vehicle Access and Parking Permits (VAPP) allowed approved vehicles to access to the Olympic venues;

Master Delivery Schedule permitted scheduled deliveries to be made to venues within a specified period of time;

Remote Vehicle Screening Sites (RVSS), located away from Olympic facilities, where “dirty” vehicles, goods, and materials were screened and confirmed “clean”;

Material Transfer Areas (MTA) screened all materials intended for entry into secure areas, focusing on goods and materials and not on the delivery vehicle or driver;

Vehicle Screening Areas (VSA) were located at venues and used to screen vehicles, their occupants and cargo;

Pedestrian Screening Areas (PSA) were used to screen people and personal articles for prohibited and illegal or dangerous material;

The Vendor Certification Program (VCP) was an Olympic program whereby sponsors and official suppliers were certified to self-inspect, screen and seal goods prior to delivery at an Olympic venue; and

The Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) was designed to supply temporary electronic security detection for the perimeters of venues.

The “In-Transit” Security Plan provided safe and secure transportation for Olympic athletes, team officials and other designated personnel travelling on the VANOC – Transport Athlete (TA) system.

d) The air security was successful in the following:

Established the Federal Aviation Steering Committee (FASC) to provide senior stakeholder oversight and guidance to the Federal Aviation Technical Working Group (FATWG);

Established the FATWG, which was responsible for the development of aviation safety and security plans to address airspace design, air management, and air traffic enhancement for the Olympic and Paralympic Games;

Established a Registration and Flight Authorization (R&FA) program to perform security checks on flight crew and authorized flight access to the Olympic Controlled Airspace (OCA); and

Established the concept and operations for an Air Services Operations Coordination Centre (ASOCC), a Games-time interagency-staffed organization which enhanced the effectiveness of both air security and overall security operations in the Olympic Theatre.

In summary:

43 days of airspace control measures;

90,000+ aircraft movements recorded;

17,795 aircraft authorized/ released by ISU; and

7,495 aircraft screened through temporary facilities.

6 Air incursions (minor violations of the restrictions)

e). The Marine Security was successful in the following:

Established the Federal Marine Working Technical Group (FMTWG) to develop and assist in the creation of an overall marine and surface safety and security plan for 2010;

Established the concept and operations for an Olympic Marine Operations Centre which was a Games-time interagency-staffed organization whose coordinated actions enhanced the effectiveness of Marine security;

Established a Marine Exercise Working Group (MEWG) that focussed on planning exercise requirements for specific Olympic venue security including regional, national, international and multi-jurisdictional considerations in the development of a comprehensive marine exercise plan; and

Employed a Community Relations Group team member to work with marine stakeholders on an ongoing basis and provided regular marine updates to the public and some interest groups, via briefings and public notices, which clearly ensured our security requirements were well communicated and accepted.

During the operational period there were 23 boats (multiple agencies) on the water and 400 vessels were stopped and/or checked.

f) The JIG was successful in developing reliable and useful intelligence in a timely manner to keep all areas of the ISU and other partner agencies informed of all events and threats relating to the security of the Games.

The Financial Intelligence Investigative Team (FIIT) was established to monitor venue contracting and construction. This was well publicized which is believed to be one of the factors contributing to the lack of evidence of organized crime pertaining to venue construction.

The creation of the Liaison Management Team to cultivate and maintain relationships with domestic and international agencies was able to provide timely and accurate intelligence.

Integration of both the CF and CSIS LO’s and utilization of the Sensitive Information Handling Unit (SIHU) within the JIG was paramount to the timely exchange of intelligence.

g) The overarching priority for Border Integrity during the Olympic period (2010-02-07 to 2010-03-24) was successful in augmenting Olympic Security by focusing on areas of high risk within the Border Integrity areas of responsibility – especially the border. There were no reports or intelligence that indicated any instances of human trafficking, and although there were reports of Border incursions specific to border jumpers there was no information that suggested an Olympic nexus. The actual numbers although up slightly were consistent with the previous year while the apprehension rate increased.

h) The operational support was successful in the following:

The Accreditation, Screening and Validation Team (ASVT) successfully met the challenges of providing Security Background Checks (SBC) for more than 200,000 people.

The establishment of the Olympic Accreditation Working Group (OAWG) encouraged and facilitated discussions between Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Heritage Canada.

The development of the Secure Accreditation Management System (SAMS) provided a secure means of conducting an SBC and provided a legacy capability for the RCMP in future major events.

By the end of the Games, the ASVT had conducted approximately 205,000 SBC on volunteers, security services, work force and Olympic family using SAMS.

The provision of effective operational support throughout the Games period is tied directly to the extensive exercise program that was developed. This allowed for the clear definition of the roles and responsibilities of all the staff in the various command and operations centres located throughout the theatre of operations.

i) The RCMP/ISU delivered effective information technology support through the development of systems by the CIO, most notably EMS and SAMS, by Technical Operations in the form of the SAP, and through the acquisition of off-the-shelf products (Common Operating Picture) and the service contract for PIDS. All systems performed exceptionally well; however, the ISU did have a well-defined Service Level Agreement and a back-up site if the main command centre failed.
