This project aims to reduce security threats to Canadians and affected populations, focusing on women and children from transnational organized crime groups engaged in migrant smuggling activities in the Dominican Republic. Project activities include: (1) delivering three Migrant Smuggling Investigational Techniques courses; (2) providing technical and investigative tools to increase capacity to conduct local investigations of transnational human smuggling networks; and (3) integrating a train-the-trainer approach by inviting trainers from the Dominican Navy and the National Police to learn from Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) facilitators and participate actively in the Maritime Border delivery Integrity Course. The project is implemented by the RCMP in collaboration with the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
