Canada's National Pipeline/Convoy Conference, organized by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and sponsored in part by the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), is taking place from May 1st – 4th at the Fairmont Royal York hotel in Toronto. The conference provides an excellent platform for the transportation and law enforcement industries to come together to discuss pertinent security issues facing the industry.

Law enforcement and the trucking industry will discuss issues surrounding cargo crime, as well as steps carriers can take to minimize exposure to theft and security risks. On May 3rd, a panel featuring representatives from Bison Transport, JD Irving, Marsh Canada and the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) will discuss initiatives that have been undertaken in the industry, best practices and associated challenges to combating cargo crime. Carriers will identify various threats and frustrations encountered while combating cargo crime, successful tactics being used by the industry as well as recommendations for industry as a whole. On May 4th, CTA will share the preliminary findings of its groundbreaking report on cargo crime, the result of months of collaboration amongst the trucking industry, law enforcement officials and the insurance community, at a press conference with David Bradley, President and CEO Canadian Trucking Alliance, Rob Ruiters (RCMP) and Garry Robertson (Insurance Bureau of Canada).
