CIROC is a new agreement within the Canadian police community. It is a committee made up of representatives from various police agencies across Canada, from the municipal, provincial and federal levels. The objective is to ensure that there is operational coordination for police efforts across the country. Traditionally, police forces worked within their own areas of jurisdiction, whether municipal or provincial, and used the information that existed at their level. Intelligence is now managed by CIROC. It is shared and analyzed through a common database and operational decisions are made by the committee. So the result is better coordination.
