On July 1, 2019, the Treasury Board updated the Policy on Government Security (PGS) requiring Deputy Heads to designate a Chief Security Officer.

The Assistant Commissioner, Correctional Operations and Programs, has been designated as the CSO, responsible to provide strategic department-wide leadership, coordination and oversight for departmental security management activities.

The previous roles and responsibilities of the former Departmental Security Officer, are now assigned to the Deputy Chief Security Officer, who is the Director, Departmental Security Division. They are responsible for all departmental security activities to ensure compliance with the Treasury Board Policy on Government Security and the Treasury Board Directive on Security Management.

The affected policies will be amended accordingly upon their next review.
