Federal Investigation Section

Mission

The strategic objective of the Federal Investigation Section program is to ensure the health and safety of communities, protect the public and maintain Canada’s economic integrity.

Mandate

The primary mandate of the Federal Investigation Section is to enforce federal statutes and related regulations through a combination of proactive and reactive strategies. The proactive program is a well-balanced approach of prevention, education and enforcement measures partnered with affected client communities. Reactive investigations are initiated in response to requests for RCMP assistance received from other federal departments and agencies.

The Federal Investigation Section investigates criminal offences under federal statutes with the help of the appropriate federal department. Through the provisions of 18 Memoranda of Understanding, the Section also provides assistance to partner agencies as well as various federal agencies and stakeholders in conducting investigations under any one of some 250 federal statutes. The program is enforced through five sub-sections:

• Consumer Protection
• Intellectual Property
• Assistance to Federal Agencies and Joint Projects
• Financial Loss to the Federal Government
• Environmental Crime and Wildlife
