Local police officers take notes whenever they apprehend an individual or respond to a 911 call, and some of this information is then entered into the CPIC database, says Stylianos. He says that occasionally this can include non-violent mental health incidents in which police are involved.

RCMP Insp. Denis St. Pierre says information on CPIC not only contains a person's criminal record, but also [. . .] can contain individuals' history of mental illness, including suicide attempts.

Stanley Stylianos, program manager for the [Canadian] Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office, says Canadians should be outraged that people’s mental health information is shared across the border.
“It is an intensely private matter for many individuals,” he says.

“Once that information gets into the American system, you can’t control it,” he says.
