Message from the Director General
Criminal Intelligence Service Canada
S. Conlin
With illicit profits in the billions of dollars worldwide each year, organized crime activities have significant socio-economic effects on Canadian society and pose a challenge to the law enforcement community. Criminal Intelligence Service Canada is using a proactive and integrated approach to provide leadership in the collection and collation of criminal information that is analyzed to produce intelligence on organized and serious crime affecting Canada.
CISC is the voice of the Canadian criminal intelligence community. Through partnerships with our 380 member agencies within the Canadian law enforcement community and contributions from the private sector, academia and all levels of government, CISC produces strategic intelligence products and provides services to help develop strategies to detect, reduce and prevent organized and serious crime in Canada.
The CISC 2004 Annual Report on Organized Crime in Canada is meant to provide you with current information on significant organized and serious crime activities across the country and their effects on our communities.
CISC is also committed to continuous improvement in the information and intelligence we provide. That is why the CISC Annual Report on Organized Crime in Canada is going through some changes. This year, we have started outlining a number of the key socio-economic effects of organized crime on our communities.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the CISC Provincial Bureaus and all the CISC partner agencies for their valuable contributions to this report.
