Also included is the criminal investigation unit, which offers province-wide assistance in primarily homicide and sexual assault investigations; and the behavioural sciences group, which comprises ViCLAS, the violent crime linkage analysis section, the psychological profiler, and the geographical profiler.

I'll use Treaty Three Police Service in Kenora, Ontario, as an example. Their abuse issues coordinator has a wide range of responsibilities including investigations; input into national systems such as the ViCLAS system, the violent crime linkage analysis system, which is a police tool for identifying those who commit crimes of violence; working relationships with crown attorneys, and other police services and agencies; community presentations and education; training programs; maintaining information resources; victim assistance; and reports to government.
