Board Passes ACIIS Resolution

The OACP Board of Directors has passed resolution in relation to the need for the replacement of the Automated Criminal Intelligence Information System (ACIIS) for Law Enforcement in Canada. The resolution was developed by our Intelligence and Organized Crime Committee.

Since 2000, the Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario (CISO) and its members have solely relied on the Automated Criminal Intelligence Information System (ACIIS) to assist in the production and sharing of intelligence assessments. As Canada’s only national serious and organized crime information and intelligence databank, police agencies use ACIIS daily, with Ontario consistently being the largest contributor.

ACIIS was introduced more than 40 years ago and is no longer an effective platform for the collection, analysis, and sharing of large volumes of information that is generated by today's law enforcement community. ACIIS was not designed to handle the information and intelligence requirements of law enforcement and its ever-expanding 21st century data collection and processing needs. The OACP is, therefore, asking that the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial (FPT) Ministers responsible for Justice and Public Safety to replacement of ACIIS. Without such a replacement, Ontario’s law enforcement community and Ontarians will continue to not fully realize the full public safety benefits of a modern, robust criminal intelligence platform, supporting strategic, evidence-based decision making.
