Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC) fulfills the fundamental role of government to secure the public's safety and security. PSEPC is dedicated to minimizing a continuum of risks to Canadians -- from risks to personal safety from crime or naturally occurring events such as severe blizzards, floods or forest fires, to threats to national security from terrorist activity.

The Department provides policy leadership and delivers programs and services in the areas of national security, emergency management, policing, border security, corrections and crime prevention. It also ensures policy cohesion among the six agencies that report to the Minister, including:

• Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

• Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)

• Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)

• Canada Firearms Centre (CFC)

• Correctional Service of Canada (CSC)

• National Parole Board (NPB).
