Inquiries

OPS Intelligence Gathering – Member Leiper

A report authored by Sgt. Chris Kiez to provide intelligence insight into the convoy has been criticized by many as biased against progressive activist movements and disdainful of their concerns. The information it contained has been widely derided for relying on unprofessional media sources.

Would the Service please provide the Board with an analysis of how the OPS approaches intelligence-gathering, including which staff are tasked with the effort, their qualifications, and how their findings are tested for bias including any outside professional auditing to assess the Service’s intelligence effectiveness.
