What are the roles of the RCMP, OPP and the Canadian Forces in securing the G8 in Huntsville?
The mandate of the Integrated Security Unit is to ensure a safe and secure summit for all involved: participants, visitors, protestors and local residents. The RCMP leads the ISU and has the primary role to protect all heads of state (International Protected Persons), their families and delegates and securing the Controlled Access Zone around the Deerhurst Resort itself. As police of jurisdiction, the Ontario Provincial Police is responsible for supporting the RCMP in its primary role. The OPP is also tasked with maintaining public order, traffic management, criminal investigations, emergency response, marine interdiction and securing the area immediately outside the Controlled Access Zone. The Canadian Forces will support police and bring specialized capabilities that only the military can offer to help the ISU fulfill its mandate.
