2011 status report of the Auditor General of Canada to the House of Commons : Status report of the Auditor General of Canada to the House of Commons

18 Mar 2011

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provides Canada's law enforcement community with specialized national police services such as forensic analyses of criminal evidence, criminal records information, identification services, technological support, learning opportunities, and the collection and analysis of criminal information and intelligence. This follow-up audit assessed the progress that the federal government and the RCMP have made toward keeping commitments to improve certain national police services, including their timeliness, made in response to our audits in 2000, 2004, and 2007; those audits noted significant delays in the delivery of these services. We focused on four of the national police services: Forensic Laboratory Services, the National DNA Data Bank, Criminal Intelligence Service Canada, and Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services. The DNA Data Bank has not been the subject of a previous audit by this office. We also followed up on previous audit observations concerning the governance of national police services as a whole and the approach to funding them.
