I would question the NDS on a weekly basis regarding some of their practices, some of the things I felt we could assist them with in professionalizing their personnel. We have a very robust civilian police contingent at the PRT that was willing to work with them on different types of interview tactics and other ways to act more professionally.
The NDS did not show much interest--often no interest--in developing any more of a substantive relationship with us, as civilians at the PRT, than what was required under the letter of our arrangement, which was to allow us access to the individuals they had who had been transferred over by the Canadian Forces.
