Prior to becoming a member of CTTA’s Board of Advisors, Mr. Myles, a graduate of Concordia University, served in the intelligence community starting with the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) where he was assigned to the surveillance unit of its Security Service. In the late 1970s Mr. Myles was assigned to the counter-terrorist desk in Montreal as an investigator and then as head of an operational unit. In 1984 the Security Service of the RCMP became, by decree, the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS). Mr. Myles continued his career with CSIS until his retirement in 1997.

As an investigator, Mr. Myles conducted interviews, recruited and handled informants / collaborators within various ethnic communities; the main objective being to assess the threat posed to the national security by terrorist groups and general espionage. As a unit head, Mr. Myles was responsible for a group of investigators and communications analysts.

FBI: 56 Police Officers Killed in 2010

That number is up eight from 2009
(article from www.lawofficer.com)
WASHINGTON — The FBI says 56 law enforcement officers were murdered on duty last year, up eight from 2009.

All but one of the 56 officers was slain by someone using a gun. Thirty-eight of them were wearing body armor when killed. The only officer who wasn't a victim of firearms was killed with a vehicle.
Fifteen officers were killed in ambushes, eight were investigating suspicious persons, seven were killed in traffic pursuits or stops and six were responding to disturbance calls. Preliminary FBI figures show the rest were killed during other police work.
Separately, 72 officers were killed in accidents, a 50 percent jump over 2009 when 48 officers died in accidents. For 2009, both the number of officers slain feloniously and those accidentally killed was 48.
