Centre for Security Science
The Centre for Security Science (the Centre) is a joint endeavour between Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and Public Safety Canada. It provides science and technology (S&T) services and support to address national public safety and security objectives. It is part of the Government of Canada’s approach to public security science and technology (PSST) and is one of seven research centres within DRDC, an agency of the Department of National Defence (DND).
The Centre’s mission is:
To strengthen, through investments in science and technology, Canada’s ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from accidents, natural disasters, or terrorist and criminal acts that impact the safety and security of Canadians.
The Centre's capabilities lie in leading and administering research, development, testing, and evaluation of technologies, and in identifying future trends and threats. The Centre is also helping to develop a network of national and international S&T partners within the public safety and security communities.
The Centre works with DRDC, Public Safety Canada, and 21 other science-based federal departments and agencies involved in protecting the safety and security of Canadians. The Centre’s goal is to deliver timely and relevant S&T research in support of an all-hazards approach to natural and accidental disasters, and terrorist and criminal acts.
