I'd like to add some information about a program that we have that I'm quite proud of. I think it has application in the national security IMVE space outside of the security of protected individuals under the RCMP's mandate.
In our protective policing program, we have behavioural scientists who review the intelligence or evidence that comes in with respect to threats and the individuals who are involved. We put those people into defined categories with defined follow-up regimes based on the levels of threat, particularly when they don't meet the criminal threshold where there's likely going to be a conviction based on their activity.
It's a very new approach that we've been undertaking in the last few years. It's a very highly skilled group that is developing these assessments as well as the plans to intervene. That can go anywhere from a regimented monthly follow-up with public health officials, psychological services, counselling and so on, to someone who's at the very low end of the threshold potentially having annual follow-ups to determine whether or not they are increasing or decreasing their activity. It's a very effective group, and I'm very proud of the service that they provide.
