Defence R&D Canada R et D pour la défense Canada Major Events Coordinated Security Solutions Public Security Science and Technology Symposium bridging the gap between S&T producers and users… 16 June 2009

2 Project Overview and Status MECSS Objectives Primary: –Assist the functional authorities in reducing the security risk associated with V2010 through the coordinated application of Science and Technology. Secondary: –Contribute to the establishment of an enduring Major Event security architecture that can be applied to future Major Events in Canada. Managed as a project under the Public Security Technical Program within Centre for Security Science

8 Reusable Major Events Security Framework Reusable Framework is now identified as DRDC investment priority; Champion: RCMP (with MECSS multi-agency governance for development) Framework will borrow heavily from existing portfolios and best practices. Key elements include: –Capability planning/development; –Integrated whole of govt planning process; and –Institutionalization of S&T structure.

9 Summary: Major Events Security Framework Overarching guide to Major Events Security Management Provides standardized planning process –Contextualized with major event security scenarios Leveraging the scenarios of CSS Ensures control of strategic & operational planning Enables strategic goals to be translated to operational level security objectives and mapping to capability requirements Enables leadership to guide development of the plan, and to synchronize & integrate joint operational security functions Maximizes effective and efficient use of resources

12 G8 Proposal The G8 offers the opportunity to validate certain MECSS outcomes; As identified by the RCMP and the ISU, there is a need to facilitate the transfer of new S&T generated knowledge, from the V2010 to the G8 domain; It is not within the scope of MECSS to generate new work in support of the G8. MECSS will support the establishment of a Scientific Advisor within the G8 Integrated Security Unit, to: –Manage the validation of new knowledge generated through MECSS activity in support of V2010 security; and –Facilitate the transfer of this new knowledge into the G8 planning process, and further into the longer term reusable Major Events framework.
