Calgary police are partnering with international cryptocurrency security company Chainalysis to create a specialized investigation centre for Western Canada.

The Western Canada Cryptocurrency Investigations Centre will serve as a police training centre focussed on financial cybercrime.

The crimes have been difficult to investigate because the technology is complex and the skills required of detectives very specialized. Chainalysis is an American company with international reach. It describes itself as a "blockchain data platform" but it has used that data and its expertise to help law enforcement seize stolen currency and to help identify culprits.
