Scott McGregor SR. INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATOR AND POLICY ANALYST
Bachelor of Commerce (specialization in Entrepreneurial Management) Scott was with the Canadian Military, as a Senior Domestic Intelligence Analyst at Joint Task Force Pacific Headquarters where he worked in a classified domain. He was mandated to provide awareness of international threats to national security. After leaving the military, Scott worked for the RCMP Federal and Serious Organized Crime as an intelligence advisor responsible for developing an all-source intelligence team. His focus was on TNOC and the convergences to national security. while at the RCMP as the Senior Analyst with the GPEB Intel Unit, he developed a strong understanding of the presence of TNOC operating within the BC gaming industry.
While at the RCMP’s E-Division Federal Serious Organized Crime (FSOC) Intelligence section, Scott was tasked with a pilot project that endeavored to find correlations between activity that related to threat streams and entities operating in the environment of Transnational Organized Crime (TNOC) and National Security (NS).
The key issue in this task was the RCMP’s limited ability to share information across classified and protected security domains. The information exists on separate networks, however, there was no one looking at both sets of data (real-time investigations across all the Federal groups) in a meaningful way. This correlation alone would not provide typical analysts with adequate insight into the vast networks conducting criminal operations in and around the Vancouver area. To gain a more robust Situational Awareness (SA) of the Common Operating Picture (COP) Scott initiated an Intelligence Preparation of the OperationThis would provide real-time information on activity in the region but with Intelligence assessment on what the activity meant to decision makers and stakeholders. Unfortunately, the product and concept did not come to fruition. However, multinational interagency meetings, discussions, think tanks and presentations did create a new interest in TNOC and how it is connected to NS threats in British Columbia (BC).
The new awareness of TNOC was brought about through hard work, dedication and a penchant for raising the alarm on what Scott calls; “economic subversion”. A driving force behind these sharing concerns relates to how Intelligence is conducted by Law Enforcement.

al Environment (IPOE) product that would offer the greatest understanding of what was occurring in the region.
•With the Intel Unit having just been formed, Scott was asked to create the reference documentation and operations plan for the unit. These policy documents were implemented by the unit and provided the guidance and frameworks required to conduct the business of Intelligence for the BC government's only gaming Intelligence component.
•Once established as an official Intelligence Unit and registered with the international association LawEnforcement Intelligence Units (LEIU), Scott provided situational awareness of threats to the integrity of gaming to decision-makers and stakeholders within the government.
