About Technical Operations

The RCMP’s Technical Operations provides direct operational support, management, advice and policy in technical and specialized areas of policing to enable front-line members and partners working to enforce the law and prevent and investigate organized crime and terrorism.

We are a team of employees including police officers, civilian members and public servants working with a wide variety of technologies and techniques, including:

	physical and electronic surveillance and security;
	computer forensics and technological crime;
	criminal behavioural analysis;
	technologies for the interception of communications;
	entry techniques;
	explosives forensics and technology;
	technologies for security of information;
	protective engineering of armoured vehicles; and
	air services - flight support of policing operations.

In order to bring new technology and techniques to policing, our employees engage in research; development and integration of products, systems and techniques; testing; training and direct policing operations. We collaborate closely with colleagues and front-line officers in Canadian and international police services and partner agencies to provide innovative solutions in policing technology and techniques.
