Translation of "Unités mixtes des produits de la criminalité " (French → English) :

Integrated Proceeds of Crime Units

The working relationship between the CRA and the RCMP commercial crime program dates back to the early 1970s, and the integrated proceeds of crime units have been working closely with the CRA since they were created in the mid-1990s.

The different joint forces operations dedicated to fight organized crime which we contribute to are: the Integrated Border Enforcement Team at Valleyfield, Lacolle and Stanstead; the National Port Enforcement Team—Port of Montreal; a Combined Forces Special Investigation Unit, the UMECO; the Integrated Proceeds of Crime Unit, the IPOC; the Federal Airport Investigation Unit, the SEFA—Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau; the Armed Munitions and Explosives Joint Task Force with the Sûreté du Québec and other police forces—we are part of this team; liaison with different law enforcement partners; and liaison with the RCMP drug section.

Since 1994, when IPOCs or Integrated Proceeds of Crime Units were first established, we have had investigative forensic accountants as full members of our team and that is the case for all units throughout Canada.

In cases where further action is deemed to be appropriate, the Money Laundering Unit will refer the matter to the appropriate RCMP Integrated Proceeds of Crime (IPOC) Unit, whose primary objective is to identify, assess, seize, restrain, and forfeit illicit and unreported wealth accumulated through organized crime activities.
