Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams and RCMP

Julie Gagnon: Earlier on Saturday, the RCMP said it has been in contact with local police forces operations across Canada to ensure there heightened awareness and vigilance after mass shootings and suicide-bombings took place in Paris, according to CTV. In an email sent to CTV News on Saturday, spokesperson Julie Gagnon said that the RCMP has asked its Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams to review their files and targets and "to be vigilant for any inspirational effect these attacks may have." "While the RCMP is not aware of any immediate and specific related threats arising from the Paris attacks, we urge Canadians to remain alert and to immediately report any suspicious or unusual behaviour," Gagnon said in the email. After briefing with top security officials, Goodale said there are no present concerns of an increased risk of a terror attack on Canadian soil, and there appears to be no Canadian connection to the deadly attacks that rippled across the French capital on Friday. "From all of the information we have been able to gather, there does not appear to be any reason to change the risk assessment for Canada," he told CTV News, adding that security authorities are monitoring the situation. She added that the national police force shares in the "shock and outrage and grief" arising from the terror attacks, and offers its full cooperation to French police authorities. Our mandate is to investigate threats to the security of Canada and Canadians, and, as always, Canadians can be assured we are working very closely with domestic and international partners in that regard, spokesperson Tahera Mufti said. In an email sent to CTV, a spokesperson for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service said that no country is immune to acts of terrorism and that the agency continues to work to keep Canadians safe following the Paris attacks.
