Information-sharing between intelligence officers and police needs an overhaul — and it could start with informing police of the reasons behind national security arrests — says a newly obtained internal report looking at the often fraught relationship between Canada's spy agency and the RCMP.
In one instance, officers in one of the RCMP's national security units quit their jobs after being asked to carry out an arrest without being told the reasons, says the redacted report, which was released through an access to information request.
The document is the end result of a behind-the-scenes review of how the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the national police force share information — or don't.
