Conclusion Cybercrime has an immediate, tangible and ongoing impact on Canadians. On a macro level, cybercrime affects Canadian government and critical infrastructure systems and the integrity of Canada’s economy and financial sectors. On a personal level, cybercrime involves personal financial losses, the infringement of privacy rights and the grievous harm associated with offences such as child sexual exploitation and cyber bullying. These threats continue to evolve and require a paradigm shift in how crimes are understood and policed in a digital era. They require a law enforcement response that addresses the criminal element in cyberspace while complementing broader government and industry security measures. The RCMP Cybercrime Strategy identifies key steps that Canada’s national police force will take to address this challenge. The strategy’s action items are operationally relevant and will enable the RCMP to more effectively keep pace with cybercrime. The RCMP’s cyber deliverables will be measured and reported on through Canada’s Cyber Security Strategy. The RCMP Cybercrime Strategy will strengthen the RCMP’s ability to work with its domestic and international law enforcement partners and other stakeholders to combat cybercrime. 20 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cybercrime Strategy
