Environmental scanning documents are prepared to support the annual strategic planning and priority setting exercises of the RCMP.
Drawing from a wide range of open-source material, the 2007 Environmental Scan provides an overview of relevant macro-level trends shaping and impacting the organization's operating environment.
The trends are articulated across seven thematic dimensions: Demographics, Society, Economy, Politics & Government, Science & Technology, Environment and Public Safety & Security.
The 2007 Environmental Scan was drafted – in close consultation with subject-matter experts and key representatives from across the organization – by the Research Unit of the Strategic Policy and Planning Directorate.
