MODERATORS
Regarding the designation of "intelligence chief" there may be no error. The RCMP runs an internal program called CIP or Criminal Intelligence Program. It's purpose is to collate, analyze, prioritize, and action information gathered across the country related to criminal investigation and activity. This type of setup is necessary to coordinate enforcement between regions and local jurisdictions. The FBI and Scotland Yard are similar in role. It doesn't say specifically but I'm thinking this would be where this guy was located.
I mean Scotland Yard is just the Met, like the London Metropolitan Police. They aren't a federal force, although locals do call them feds. The NYPD is the largest employer of intelligence operators in the world, it's not like the RCMP is unique in running a CIP division.
