The Canadian Air Carrier Protection/Protective Program (CACPP) began on September 17, 2002, when a [[memorandum of understanding]] was signed between the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] with [[Transport Canada]], the authority responsible for Canadian aviation security, and the [[Canadian Air Transport Security Authority]] (CATSA), for the implementation and administration of the CACPP. The program is conducted by specially trained undercover armed RCMP officers (known as "aircraft protective officers" – APOs) on selected domestic and international flights and all flights to [[Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport]] in the United States. Pilots and flight attendants are advised of their presence and the officer is authorized to physically intervene should an unauthorized person attempt to gain control of an aircraft.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/gazette/vol70n3/air-eng.htm |first=Marc-André |last=Gauthier |title=The Canadian Air Carrier Protective Program |journal=RCMP Gazette |publisher=[[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] |volume=70 |number=3 |date=3 November 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626092154/http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/gazette/vol70n3/air-eng.htm |archive-date=26 June 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> APOs, however, will not get involved in controlling unruly passengers.<ref name=APEC>{{cite web |url=http://www.apec.org/apec/documents_reports/counter_terrorism_task_force/2004.MedialibDownload.v1.html?url=/etc/medialib/apec_media_library/downloads/taskforce/cttf/mtg/2004/pdf.Par.0021.File.v1.1 |title=CACPP Presentation |website=APEC |date=2004}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> While they are [[peace officer]]s within Canadian territories, they rely on section 6(2) of the [[Aircraft hijacking#Tokyo Convention|Tokyo Convention]] as a legal basis for intervening in an incident outside of Canadian airspace.
