Unveiling of the RCMP Covert Specialists – Undercover Operations On August 3, a plaque was unveiled to honour the legacy of Staff Sergeant Abe Snidanko, the visionary behind the RCMP Operational Undercover Training (OUT) Programme. This significant event took place in the presence of members of the Covert Specialists Alumni (CSA), who gathered to pay tribute to the man whose work has had a profound impact on law enforcement training worldwide. Staff Sergeant Abe Snidanko was a trailblazer in the field of undercover operations. His journey began in the late 1960s when he was stationed at the Vancouver Drug Section. It was there that he developed the original regional training programme for covert operations, drawing inspiration from the Second World War allied espionage training conducted at Camp “X” near Whitby, Ontario. Camp “X,” a covert training school created by the legendary Canadian Sir William Stephenson, code-named “Intrepid,” served as the model for Snidanko’s innovative approach. https://lnkd.in/ep6RpJAn
