The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP), National Security Investigations Section
(NSIS), is the Canadian agency of primary jurisdiction
in relation to national security and terrorism
investigations. As the national police service, the RCMP
is positioned to act on local, regional, national and
international investigations in a timely and effective
manner.
The RCMP NSIS require the assistance of partner
agencies, like members of the ASIS International,
Calgary/SouthernAlberta Chapter #162, to better assure
success in the protection of communities.
ASIS members are highly respected. As qualified
professionals, you know and understand your environments.
As such, ASIS members represent and retain a key
frontline position to report suspicious activity and
information, that may be of interest to RCMP
investigators.
It is the goal of the RCMP, in cooperation with private
sector partners, to collect information and intelligence
in a timely manner to facilitate the disruption,
prevention or intervention of terrorist acts before they
take place. No tidbit of information is too small.
National security or terrorist incidents do not occur in
a vacuum. They are planned, organized and carried out by
individuals acting alone or in groups. A few examples of
matters of interest would include individuals taking
photographs of infrastructure sites, thefts of official
identification, stolen company uniforms, computer
hackers attempting to gain access to company sites,
finding unusual maps or observing what appears to be a
surveillance activity.
While the 1-800-420-5805 Terrorism Tip line number
facilitates the anonymous reporting of information from
the public on a national scale, ASIS, Calgary Chapter
members are encouraged to telephone the local RCMP NSIS
field office directly at (403) 292-8705 with any
information, questions or concerns.
Posters, pamphlets, literature and corporate
presentations are available upon request.
The RCMP looks forward to an ongoing working
relationship with ASIS.
Thank you.
