This report is based on the contribution of all RCMP ?divisions, data contained within law
enforcement data bank holdings and open information. In Quebec'and. Ontario Aboriginal protests
and occupations fall under the jurisdiction of the provincial police. Numerous individuals were
identified by RCMP, law enforcement partners and the Overall 313 individuals were
identi?ed and reviewed within the scope of the project. thhese, ?89 individuals were found to meet
the criteria for criminality associated to public order 'evenIItIS. as. defined within the baseline
methodology. This methodology identi?ed individuals associated thpublic order based on their
background, motivation and rhetoric to have committed or commit criminal activities in association
with Aboriginal public order events. These individuals were categorized based upon Dr. Sopow's
criteria of protestor tactics and traits into Volatile, Disruptive, and Passive.l A criterion of
criminality was then applied to determine whether the individuals were a Suspect. Person of
interest or Associate. Therefore. individuals were categorized as: Suspect/Volatile or
Suspect/Disruptive; Person offn?terest?oletile or Person of Interest/Disruptive; Associate/ Volatile or

were identi?ed as passive protesters. Once?identified as sues, they were excluded from any furdIer

front-line of?cers would have access to the information during protest events. Protestor pro?les
were created for the remaining 39 individuals based on available information collected and collated

Over the last five years, several British Columbia subjects travelled to attend events in Ontario.
These events included the G8jG20 protests, as well as anti-tar sand, fracking and pipeline events.
The Unist'ot'en Camp is the top affiliated organization due to the frequent travel between affiliated

appear to be aligned with that individual in terms of motivation, and/or organizational affiliation.
The determination of this category will be based on these links as well as the personality and traits
