Brian Verheul, Affiliate, recently retired from a career in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which began in 1974. During the course of his career he served in a variety of operational and administrative roles in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario. The last twenty years of his career were spent working within the Financial Crimes Directorate. In addition he assisted the Department of National Defence with year 2000 preparations, coordinating the readiness and business continuity plans for all emergency services across the country through a network of policing contacts. He later served as an audit principle on the RCMP National Audit Team, where he led a contracting audit which included testing in all Regions. He also developed considerable experience in the area of Risk Management while in Ottawa where he revitalized the Unit Level Quality Assurance Program for the RCMP.

His last assignment was as the Officer in Charge of the Greater Toronto Area Commercial Crime Section a position he held from the fall of 2003 until his retirement in the summer of 2008. In this position he was responsible for directing eighty staff whose mandate it was to reduce the impact of financial crimes through education, prevention, investigation and enforcement. All of the efforts were focused on maintaining confidence in government, business, capital markets and payment systems. Effective working relationships were developed, resulting in an environment where joint investigations with the OPP, Toronto, York & Peel Police Services, Federal Government Departments and U.S. Enforcement Agencies were common place. Brian was also called upon from time to time to complete and direct sensitive investigations involving Public Complaints or matters related to the RCMP Code of Conduct.

Brian attended the University of Western Ontario, has a working knowledge of the Dutch and French languages and is a Certified Fraud Examiner. Brian is also active in his community where he currently serves as a Director on the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools and Shalom Manor Home for the Aged Boards.
