Morning Panel 1: Managing the Perimeter: Joint Law Enforcement &
Detecting Threats Early: Chaired by David Crane, Toronto Star

Anne McLellan, PC, QC (Bennett Jones), Theresa Brown (Sentinel HS), and Andrew Sugimoto (U.S. Coast Guard)

?

Joint law enforcement operations build on past, evolving, and continuing cooperative efforts between Canada and the United States. Personnel enforce their own country?s laws, not the other country?s laws. An emphasis on criminal enforcement, rather than anti-terrorism may be helpful.

The first lesson learned from the post-9/11 era (Strategic Prosperity Framework) is the need to align goals, based on a joint threat assessment and an acknowledgement of varying priorities (security vs. commerce) and constitutional frameworks. The second lesson is the need for a specific action plan. The third lesson is to put the right people in charge, with enough authority to avoid the need for continuous internal negotiations. Consistent oversight by government bodies, continued goodwill among the officials, and political staying power are also required.

Successes include the Shiprider program, 96-hour notice for merchant vessels, a joint crew manifest oversight program, and joint training programs. The Coast Guard and Transport Canada are working together to address regulatory gaps, overlays, and redundancy. Three Maritime Operations Centers share information jointly, while respecting constitutional and privacy concerns. Past examples of cooperation include NORAD, Search and Rescue, and environmental and emergency response programs. Areas for improvement include information law, possible harmonization of two distinct identity cards, multi-modal screening, and programs that give commerce more predictability without sacrificing security.
