The Joint Serious Offences Team is a partnership between the OSC, the Ontario Provincial Police’s Anti-Rackets Unit, the RCMP Financial Crimes Program and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. The JSOT team is a special and unique team designed to investigate and subsequently prosecute serious matters involving alleged breaches of securities law in provincial court.
