CACPP was launched on September 17, 2002, and established through an MOU between which parties?

• A. RCMP, Transport Canada, and CSIS
• B. RCMP, Transport Canada, and CATSA
• C. RCMP, Transport Canada, and FAA
• D. RCMP, Transport Canada, and TSA

Answer: (B)

CACPP brings together policing, regulation, and screening operations to create a cohesive national aviation security framework. The MOU signed on September 17, 2002 established the program through partnership among the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Transport Canada, and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA). CATSA manages airport passenger screening, RCMP provides law enforcement support and enforcement capability, and Transport Canada supplies aviation safety and security regulations and oversight. This combination reflects how Canada centralized screening within a framework that includes regulatory direction and policing. The other options would mix in U.S. agencies or Canada’s intelligence service, which were not the signatories to this MOU.
