@MidOfficer’s making a funny. I know who he is, we’ve chatted, and he has experience in (and scars from) the procurement world. He’s shining a bit of light on the absurdity of pushing even fully politically supported acquisitions through TBS and the procurement bureaucracy.
No. This would be an RCMP national security investigation, undoubtedly paralleled by CSIS. On scene, at most they might request support from CAF EOD if needed, but probably it would be well within the capabilities of police CBRNE. The forensic exploitation of the devices would be key evidence.
Improvised explosive devices found near German power plant, police say
According to media reports, a key installation near the Jänschwalde coal plant in Brandenburg was repeatedly targeted with rockets, which emergency crews later found and defused. #EuropeNewswww.euronews.com

The PM announcing we're doing something means the bureaucracy in turn has to make it happen. Parts of that process are ripe for streamlining. But challenge and oversight are key parts. Otherwise things can and do get missed.
War story: the acquisition of Leo IIs was a rush job. The team working it had expertise from a variety of domains, and still, well past the 11th hour, they realized one slight oversight in their plans (as opposed to a number of other things deliberately overlooked): the main gun on the Leo II is 120mm, not 105mm like the Leo Is that were then in service. New ammo has a list of implications for cost, time and work.

The RCMP will supply the security cordon and the C-RAM/C-RAM defence? The district security patrols?
I’m talking about dealing with an incident that has already taken place or a plot that is detected. If you’re talking about a standing defence against a hypothetical but non specific threat, different question.

Nuclear plants have their own civilian security with the ability to use up to lethal force. We don't need RCMP or CAF doing this.

It is not just the nuclear power plants that are at risk. The need for the federal government to have the ability to beef up Vital Point security in times of heightened tensions has been recognised since at least the Perrin Beatty white paper on defence.
The problem we now face is that back then the threat and the resulting force was seen as being of a limited duration, like the Second World War.
The hybrid threat, the hybrid war, we are now facing is an enduring threat. We need to think in terms of decades and careers.

We also live in a free and open society. There are inherent risks with liberty and using soldiers as cops is often antithetical to liberty.

How about using citizens as security guards?
You can retain the power of arrest as a police power if you wish.
Or you can do what the criminal code requires of a citizen and that is go to the aid of a police officer when aid is requested.
Section 129(b).
Soldiers do not have to act as cops, even when cops act as soldiers.

I’ll bet they have better AD and CUAS than the Canadian Army.
Seriously? I don't believe the facilities in question are facing the same criminal element as the local mall. Training, weapons qualification, insurance, dealing with drones are just a few areas where someone other than a rent-a-cop style of force would be needed and that suggests a professional force; and a well trained force at that. We as a country haven't really had to give this type of security much thought and the folks who would carry out this type of activity know it. You can start with the gatehouse guards at most Forces bases.How about using citizens as security guards?
