The mandate of the cross-border crime forum is to serve as a forum in which Canadian and United States law enforcement and justice officials from the federal, state, provincial, territorial and municipal governments can identify major issues and national policy priorities related to the problem of transnational crime and terrorism. The work of the forum addresses broad law enforcement and national security issues that affect both countries, including illicit drugs, counterterrorism, identity theft, firearms trafficking, mass marketing fraud, human trafficking and organized crime.
Les travaux du forum portent sur les grands problèmes d'application de la loi et de sécurité nationale qui touchent les deux pays, y compris le trafic de drogues, le terrorisme, le vol d'identité, le trafic d'armes à feu, les fraudes par marketing de masse, la traite de personnes et le crime organisé.
