Abstract Note

On April 3, 2017, the CBC reported that technology was being used in downtown Ottawa to track cellular (mobile) devices. The media coverage alleges that the technology, commonly known as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catchers (preferred term is Mobile Device Identifier (MDI technology), was used by an unknown party to track mobile devices.

Follow-up media coverage occurred on April 4, which included comments from the Minister of Public Safety. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Services (CSIS) are investigating the alleged use of IMSI catchers in downtown Ottawa. The investigation is ongoing.
