- Since 2020, the RCMP’s Protective Behavioural Analysis Unit has struggled with incomplete implementation and structural inefficiencies.
- The volume and complexity of threats targeting politicians and protected persons have significantly increased between 2022 and 2024.
- Insufficient analyst support, unclear responsibilities, and prolonged training contribute to workload backlogs and staff stress.
- The RCMP plans to enhance resources and improve task triage from now through 2027 to sustain the unit.
The success of the unit to date has been largely due to its knowledgeable and dedicated staff, but these employees are at risk of burnout.— RCMP reviewers in the Protective Behavioural Analysis Unit evaluation report
