July 2, 2013 – Today, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will provide details into arrests made in project SOUVENIR, a National Security investigation coordinated by the RCMP-led Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams (INSETs) in British Columbia.

RCMP-led INSETs are specialized multi-agency investigative teams comprised of employees of the RCMP, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA), and other law enforcement and national security partners at the federal, provincial, municipal levels who investigate all national security criminal threats.

Through shared federal, provincial and municipal resources – E-INSET members are better able to track, deter, disrupt and prevent criminal activities (major or minor offences) of terrorist groups or individuals who pose a threat to Canada’s national security. This type of increased capacity enables E-INSET members to work with their partners nationally and internationally
