Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group

The Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group (CITIG) brings together representatives from public safety, industry, academia and government to help shape the direction of research and development activities related to interoperability amongst Canadian public safety providers. It provides a forum where aspects of the five elements of the interoperability continuum governance, standard operating procedures, technology, training & exercise and usage can be understood, designed, tested, negotiated, implemented, trained, exercised, standardized and shared.

Launched in April 2007 by the Canadian Police Research Centre (CPRC) in conjunction with Informatics Committee of the Canadian Association of the Chiefs of Police (CACP), the CITIG aims to (i) address the challenges faced in finding funding for interoperability research, (ii) encourage economies of scale and a more standardized approach to interoperability across the country; (iii) reduce obstacles in bringing interoperability solutions to life (i.e., procurement by providing an arm's length testing ground); and (iv) provide a unique and effective information-sharing forum for the benefit of the broad public safety community.

All public safety practitioners or industry, academic or government representatives interested in advancing Canadian public safety interoperability are invited to learn more. This Web site serves as a first point of contact for information sharing. Please consider registering for access to the member site, and help shape public safety interoperability in Canada.
