The Audit found that the Enforcement Branch implemented a yearly business case process for the assessment of DT equipment needs, and funding was allocated annually to allow for DT equipment replacement. DT needs were assessed and evaluated using various criteria, such as recent significant seizures, previous enforcement activities, past history of the equipment and risk. Furthermore, the Enforcement Branch, in collaboration with the Innovation, Science and Technology Branch, hosted a DT equipment workshop in 2007 to identify needs, technologies and equipment for consideration by the CBSA. The primary focus of the workshop was to identify gaps in capabilities, and elicit the sharing of needs, ideas and concepts relating to new, emerging and existing technologies that could enhance program outcomes. The workshop also provided opportunities to discuss issues relevant to existing programs within the Enforcement Branch with regards to training, maintenance and repairs.
