Review of the Immigration Control
Officer Network – Final Report

4.0 Management Response and Action Plan (9/12)

Recommendation / Management Response Action Plan Office of Primary Interest Planned
Implementation
Date

9. Within the Enforcement Branch planning process for each mission, an approach should be developed to ensure all officers engaged in interdiction, intelligence, reporting and liaison are included in the assessment of the delivery structure. If ICO work is deemed necessary and appropriate for the location, IR, the Enforcement Branch, the Case Management Branch and the program manager should determine expectations for the mission.

Management Response

Management agrees with this recommendation. The use of de facto ICOs, including their designation and operational management, needs to be reviewed and rationalized within the broader ICO Network system.



a) SEZ will develop a generic statement by April 3, 2002, on de facto ICOs that recognizes the need for formal training and the need for a site by site assessment of enforcement and organized crime requirements against competing program requirements.
SED in consultation with RID and BCD April 3, 2002
b) The group will meet on April 25, 2002, to discuss and finalize the generic statement regarding de facto ICOs.
  April 25, 2002
c) The group will report back to senior management by May 25, 2002, to recommend adoption of the finalized generic statement regarding de facto ICOs.

De facto ICOs will be dealt with under recommendations 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 to ensure that all officers engaged in immigration control work are included in the assessment of the delivery structure. Where ICO work is deemed necessary and appropriate for the location, there should be a determination of expectations for the mission by IR, the Enforcement Branch, the Case Management Branch and the program manager.
