Purpose and objectives of transfer payment program | The program supports lateral initiatives related to law enforcement, public relations, and relationship building with communities, and provides grants to not-for-profit organizations for the purpose of crime prevention, crime awareness, and training. Attendance at a training or developmental activity offered by the Canadian Police College (CPC) by personnel of Canadian police services other than the RCMP increases the level of competencies within the national police community. Attendance by personnel of foreign police services at a training or developmental activity offered by the CPC facilitates international relationships to advance Canadian investigations abroad and combat transnational criminality. It also offers opportunities for police personnel from different jurisdictions to share skills and techniques, and to network in the advancement of policing techniques to a nationally consistent level. |
Expected results | Increased access to the CPC by non-RCMP police personnel. Increased knowledge, skills, and techniques in advanced policing techniques within other jurisdictions. Opportunity to network in a central police learning environment where a nationally consistent level of excellence is obtained. Relations between the RCMP and other Canadian police services, and foreign police services are facilitated through the participation of foreign police officers in CPC training. |
