Canada periodically hosts Prime Minister or Minister-led major international events in Canada. Due to the presence of heads of state from other countries and the significant security requirements involved, the RCMP has the primary responsibility to ensure the security for the proper functioning of the event including safeguarding of international VIPs, citizens and Canadian communities where the events are hosted. To this end, the RCMP usually requires the participation of the provincial, territorial and/or municipal police services and security agencies (for example, paramedics, fire services and public works) as these partner jurisdictions are responsible for the administration of justice, including policing, within their jurisdictions.
