Notes:


  • The RCMP is one of four pilot departments testing and implementing the new Treasury Board policies on Investment Planning and Project Management. As a result of the RCMP's approved Investment Plan (approved March 2009), new project authorities were obtained so that new projects are now assessed based on their level of complexity and risk to determine if they fall within the RCMP's Organizational Project Management Capacity Rating, and therefore do not require approval by Treasury Board.
  • Projects included in the Departmental Performance Report are for those projects which required Treasury Board approval prior to receipt of the new increased authorities (referenced above) or which fall outside of the RCMP's authority based on the new Investment Plan.
  • Project details for Original and Revised Estimated Total costs and Actual Costs to date align, where appropriate, with the RCMP's Investment Plan and reflect the RCMP's portion only, net of GST and ARLU transfer to Public Works and Government Services Canada.
  • Project details/expenditures include Capital and O&M expenditures, where applicable.

* PPA – preliminary project approval
* EPA – effective project approval



Status Report on Major Crown/Transformational Projects

Description

Real Time Identification (RTID) is a re-engineering of systems and processes used for fingerprint identification, civil clearances and criminal records management. It is transforming the current paper-based workflow to an electronic workflow, enabling the “real time” identification of fingerprints submitted electronically.

Fingerprints are submitted by police agencies to support the creation of a criminal record, or to search the criminal record repository during a criminal investigation or civil security screening. RTID is streamlining these services, facilitating information sharing internationally, and permitting an improved tracking of criminals by condensing identification turnaround times from weeks and months to hours and days. The development of RTID should result in the following end state response times:

  • two hours for all criminal ten print searches (improved from six weeks)
  • 24 hours for all latent (improved from six weeks)
  • 72 hours for all civil services (improved from five months)

The project was initiated in 2004 and subsequently separated into two major phases. Phase 1 modernized the civil clearance process, implemented a new Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), and developed a new transaction manager, the National Police Services National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Server, permitting agencies to submit their fingerprint information electronically. Phase 1 was closed-out in 2008 from an information technology perspective.

Project Phase

The scope of Phase 2 included modernizing the processes related to the management and updating of criminal records. As Phase 2 progressed, it became increasingly evident that the project could not be completed within the original project parameters. The Effective Project Approval (EPA) for the original Phase 2 expired in March 2009. Prior to amending the Phase 2 EPA, it was recommended by Treasury Board Secretariat that an Independent Project Review be completed to determine the best way forward. The review was completed in February 2010 and was followed by an options analysis. The selected option consisted of going forward with a business aligned scope, utilizing the remaining Treasury Board approved funding with incremental RCMP funding and with a scheduled completion date of March 31, 2013.

  • improve overall identification and criminal records services

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

RTID Phase 1 was closed-out from an information technology perspective in September 2008, 18 months later than originally planned. This variance in the schedule and scope impacted Phase 2, which was planned to be completed by July 2011. Factors for this schedule variance include the complexities of the system and delays in obtaining security clearances for Phase 2.

In 2009, the Executive Project Oversight Committee recommended that the RCMP conduct an independent review of the RTID project to help determine the project’s challenges, issues and way forward prior to submitting an amended EPA. The review was completed in February 2010 and was followed by an options analysis. The selected option consisted of going forward with a business aligned scope, utilizing the remaining Treasury Board approved funding and incremental RCMP funding with a scheduled completion date of March 31, 2013. The selected option carried the greatest probability of success by enhancing the RTID foundation, eliminating the current roadblocks of sustainability by moving forward with a reduced business aligned scope of automated end-to-end processing functionality.

A request to amend the Phase 2 EPA was granted on March 24, 2011. The amendment included extension of the approved timeline and expenditure authority as well as revision of the project scope.

The RTID Project is currently progressing as planned on the approved scope, within the amended budget of $146.8M, ($156.1M including GST) and on schedule to the revised project end date of March 2013.

Name of Lead Department(s): The Royal Canadian Mounted Police leads a multi-organizational, Integrated Security Unit (ISU) known as the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010ISU). The Departments and Agencies that form the V2010 ISU are: Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Department of National Defence (DND), Health Canada (HC), Industry Canada (IC), Privy Council Office (PCO), Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), Public Safety Canada (PS), and Transport Canada (TC).

Lead Department Program Activity: Protective Policing Services

Start Date: 2004-2005

End Date: 2010-2011

Total Federal Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): Approximately $900 million

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

As the lead agency responsible for the development and delivery of the 2010 Winter Games security, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) leads a multi-organizational, Integrated Security Group known as the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (V2010 ISU) which has had the overall responsibility for coordinating and providing security for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

The participating Departments and Agencies worked closely together, using a four-phased approach to major event planning: design and planning; a robust exercise and testing stage leading to a declaration of operational readiness; Games operation; and demobilization/debrief.

The overall goal of the V2010 ISU was to provide a “safe and secure game” for the athletes, officials and visitors. This was accomplished through an integrated security model and in close collaboration with partners including all levels of government, the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee (VANOC) and private corporations.

The total budget for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games is estimated at $900 million, in which the Province of British Columbia cost-shares a portion through a 2010 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Security Cost Sharing Memorandum of Agreement.

a. Safe and Secure and Games

a. After the close of a safe and secure Games, the fiscal year 2010-11 was a year of wind-down for ISU. This was the year of completing the deployment processes, asset disposal, and archiving of records.

b. Effective policing in games security area and Urban Domain

b. The ISU developed and executed policing in Games Security Area and Urban Domain successfully in the following:

Vehicle Access and Parking Permits (VAPP) allowed approved vehicles to access to 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. Effective Air security

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

7,495 aircraft screened through temporary facilities

6 Air incursions (minor violations of the restrictions)

e. Effective Marine Security

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 the Marine Exercise Working Group (MEWG) that focused 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

The employment of a Community Relations Group team member to work with marine stakeholders on an ongoing basis along with regular marine updates to the public and some interest groups via briefings and public notices 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. Effective Intelligence

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

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. Effective Border Integrity

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. Effective Operational Support

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, 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. Effective Information Technology 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.

Comments on Variances:

DND/CF was able to provide a wide range of unique military capabilities in support of the RCMP to ensure the safety and security of the Games. DND/CF provided support without using any initially identified contingency funding. The Department was able to achieve significant cost reductions and savings due mainly to a review of its concept of support, active contract management and the establishment of financial controls.

CSIS: Actual expenditures were lower than projected resource requirements for the following primary reasons: the number of accreditation requests were substantially lower than projected (i.e. salaries)and travel and accommodation costs were lower than projected and the costs associated with required upgrades to critical facilities were lower than projected

IC: Expenditures were lower than projected for the following reasons: travel and accommodation costs were considerably lower than projected; there were savings in network systems support and professional services; and a contingency reserve of $1.7 million in capital was not required.

RCMP: The security budget for the RCMP of $492.5M was supplemented by the Olympic Federal Contingency in the amount of $65.5M for a total security budget of $558M.

TC: Actual costs at Nav Canada were higher and/or lower than planned resulting in a variance. There was also a reduction in the level of some services provided (determined as not required) resulting in lower labour costs.

Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff 95%
93%

Efforts are consistently being made to have existing procurement and material management staff and all new staff trained.

In order to increase compliance, a new method for tracking employees who require formal green procurement has been adopted.

Training for Acquisition Cardholders 100%
0%

Acquisition card training materials are in the process of being revised. Once completed, all new acquisition cardholders will receive this training. Due to resource constraints and competing priorities, the expected progress in the area of green procurement training for all new acquisition cardholders during fiscal year 2010-11 was not met.

The RCMP’s Procurement and Contracting Branch is currently consulting with Finance branch in order to update the acquisition card training material to include green procurement considerations. The acquisition card training is mandatory and is provided to all new cardholders.

Performance Evaluations 100%
0% Although environmental considerations were not directly reflected on the performance evaluations and functional heads, managers did achieve their objectives related to formal green procurement training for procurement and materiel management staff, the use of consolidated procurement instruments, and a reduction initiative for specific goods. Efforts are being made for future years to incorporate environmental considerations in the performance evaluations of procurement directors.
Procurement Processes and Controls 30%  

In February 2009, the RCMP established a Green Procurement Working Group whose mandate included examining and developing appropriate processes and controls. In fiscal year 2010-11, the main members of the Green Procurement Working Group moved on to other positions and, as a result, the progress being made on some of the groups’ initiatives was stalled. In 2011-12, the working group will be re-established with the goal of implementing initiatives that were previously proposed, as well as moving forward with new ideas to "green" RCMP business. For instance, the RCMP is exploring the possibility of adding additional reporting fields to its integrated financial management system to better track and report on green procurement initiatives.

Results achieved to date include:

  • all computers, printers, copiers, and scanners purchased or leased have Energy Star approval
  • a number of Procurement Officers attended various information sessions held by PWGSC which were designed to increase awareness for green procurement considerations and tools available to promote green procurement
  • all solicitation and contract templates include a clause encouraging suppliers to employ a number of environmental considerations when preparing their bid proposals
  • the majority of requisitions being sent to PWGSC and copies of contracts sent to suppliers and clients are being sent via email as opposed to fax, which cuts down on the amount of paper and ink used
  • training material provided to Unit Commanders now includes an element for green procurement considerations
  • where available, green consolidated procurement instruments are used

Notes:


  • This planned audit was changed to an audit of Major Events. Subsequent to this change, and as part of the RCMP risk-based audit planning process, it will be proposed to remove this audit from the 2011-14 Risk-Based Audit Plan. The rationale for removal is that: 1) the RCMP conducted an evaluation of the RCMP involvement in the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games; and 2) the Office of the Auditor General conducted an audit of G8/G20 Expenditures.
  • Completed RCMP Internal Audit Reports may be found at: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cm-gg/audit-reports-rapports/index-eng.htm
  • As per the TBS Policy on Evaluation (April 2009), the RCMP is currently in the process of developing a five-year rolling plan designed to cover 100% of direct spending. This plan has been presented to the RCMP Departmental Evaluation Committee (DEC) and is in the process of being approved. It is anticipated that this plan will be approved by DEC in the fall of 2011 and subsequently submitted to the TBS Centre for Excellence in Evaluation.


G8/G20 Horizontal Initiative


Name of Horizontal Initiative: Security and Public Safety for the 2010 G8 and G20 Summits

Name of Lead Department: Royal Mounted Canadian Police (RCMP)

Lead Department Program Activity: Protective Policing Services 1

Start Date: 2008-09

End Date: 2010-11

Total Departmental Funding Allocation (from start date to end date): $507.4M

Description of the Horizontal Initiative (including funding agreement):

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is the sole agency with federal policing jurisdiction and has the primary responsibility to ensure the security for any intergovernmental conferences held in Canada.

The RCMP led a multi-organizational, integrated security group known as the 2010 G8-G20 Summits Integrated Security Unit (ISU). The ISU had overall responsibility for coordinating and providing security for both the 2010 Muskoka G8 and the Toronto G20 Summits. A phased approach was used to successfully plan and secure this major event: design, planning and operational readiness activities; Summit operations; and demobilization/debrief.

The overall goal of the ISU was to provide "safe and secure Summits" to the attending Canadian public and visiting Heads of States. This was achieved through an integrated security model and in close collaboration with partners.

Expenditures incurred over three fiscal years for planning and securing the 2010 Muskoka G8 and Toronto G20 Summits totaled approximately $304.3M.

Shared Outcome: Safe and secure Summits

Governance Structure(s):

A Performance Measurement and Evaluation Strategy (PMES) for the 2010 Muskoka G8 and Toronto G20 Summits horizontal initiative was completed as required by Treasury Board Secretariat. The PMES formalized the federal commitment of the RCMP and its federal partners to be accountable for the implementation of this initiative.

The 2010 G8-G20 ISU was comprised of members from the RCMP, the Canadian Forces (CF), the Ontario Provincial Police, the Toronto Police Service and the Peel Regional Police Service. The Division Operations Commander, an RCMP Chief Superintendent, reported to the O Division Commanding Officer, who in turn reported to the Deputy Commissioner of Federal Policing and Central Region, who reported directly to the Commissioner of the RCMP and who, in turn, reported directly to the Minister of Public Safety Canada.

A Federal Security Coordinator (FSC) at the Superintendent level was appointed by the Assistant Commissioner of Protective Policing of the RCMP to assist in guiding the federal aspects of the security planning and operational phases and to act as a liaison to the 2010 G8-G20 ISU and Protective Policing.

The Privy Council Office established the Office of the Coordinator for the G8 and G20 Security to assist in inter-departmental coordination at the strategic level. The Coordinator chaired a horizontal Deputy Ministers Working Group to discuss and make decisions on horizontal issues. The Coordinator reported to the National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, who in turn reported directly to the Prime Minister.

The participating departments worked with the RCMP while maintaining their own reporting structures to their respective Ministers.

Performance Highlights:

The Mission Aim “Ensure the Safety and Security of the General Public and Heads of State Attending the G8 and G20 Summits in Canada” of the 2010 G8-G20 Summits Integrated Security Unit (ISU) was achieved.

Utilizing the Treasury Board Risk Management Framework and the RCMP Integrated Risk Management as guidance, the ISU created an Integrated Risk Management Plan and Risk Registry that assisted in identifying risks and mitigation strategies, which in turn led to the success of the G8 and G20 Summits. Significant risks – such as mobilizing RCMP and municipal police agency personnel, accrediting private security and providing bus availability for security personnel – were averted as a result.

Department Program Activity Total Allocation (from Start to End Date) 2010-11 ($ millions)
Planned Spending 2 Actual Spending 3 Expected Results Results Achieved
Protective Policing Services $507,459,000 $436,542,000 4 $239,900,000 a. When a safety or security issue did occur, it did not result in a disruption to the Summits Safety and Security did occur; plans were successfully implemented, no incidents disrupted the Summits, Internationally Protected Persons (IPP) met and moved as required.
Total $507,459,000 $436,542,000 $239,900,000    

Comments on Variances:

The Summits ended with a significant surplus of $205 million (including Employee Benefits and Pension (EBP)). This was due to several factors. The RCMP held a government-wide contingency for the two Summits of $60 million. The Operational Plans used for the budgetary process indicated that we required at peak deployment 7,041 personnel. The actual deployment was 5,575 individuals from within the RCMP and 653 from Other Police Departments (OPDs). Deployed resources provided the bulk of the cost drivers for pay, overtime, meals, accommodation, equipment and transportation. Hotel costs anticipated in Toronto were reduced by the competitive process by approximately $26 million. The cost of radios were also reduced through the competitive process by over $20 million.

Results Achieved by Non-Federal Partners (if applicable): N/A
