Message from the Chair 
Criminal Intelligence Service Canada
Commissioner G. Zaccardelli
Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) continues to be a leader in the national fight against organized and serious crime.
As chair, I am proud of CISC for becoming a best practice model of integrated policing. We have successfully brought together law enforcement agencies with partners from the private sector, academia and all levels of government to gain a better understanding of organized and serious crime and its impact on our communities.
Timely access to quality information and intelligence is the foundation of effective law enforcement. It allows us to set priorities and allocate funds based on current challenges and emerging trends. It also ensures a clear picture of organized crime activity, relationships and networks that threaten Canadian communities, allowing for the prevention, disruption and dismantling of organized and other serious crime threats before they take root.
I believe the collective efforts of law enforcement in this regard have brought the scope, impact and threat of organized crime into sharper focus.
The CISC 2004 Annual Report on Organized Crime is an excellent example of strategic co-ordination among all law enforcement organizations and emphasizes what we can achieve when we work together.>
I am proud of our achievements over the past year. I would like to thank the entire CISC community for their collaboration and excellent work in creating this document.
I am deeply committed, personally and professionally, to making the vision of integration a reality. By committing to working more with our partners at home, and abroad, we are helping ensure safe homes and safe communities for all Canadians and contributing to a safer, more secure global community.
