In plain terms, it's meant to centralize these processes. By centralizing them, we can ensure that there's greater compliance with professional standards, with the law. Chief members of the RCMP have been designated to apply for the use of these techniques. They're very much up to speed on what is required by the court...making sure that they're kept abreast of any developments in the law, because on occasion the courts will clarify on how the law should be interpreted, depending on the techniques being used and the technology being used, and how they are interpreting on how we strike that balance appropriately.
Centralizing through the NTOP does allow for, I think, a higher level of confidence that the members of the RCMP are adhering to the rigours of the law with highly trained individuals who are adhering to high professional standards.
