In Memoriam: Archie Alafriz III
We will never forget our colleague’s fight for a better society and his unwavering devotion to protecting citizens. Archie will stay with us forever, inspiring us to continue his mission.

A dedicated and goal-oriented professional, Archie Alafriz III devoted 27 years to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, specializing in threat financial intelligence and investigations. He was a true pioneer in his field with 15 years of focused expertise in National Security, Anti-Terrorist Financial Intelligence, Analysis, and Countermeasure Development.

Renowned for his exemplary communication, facilitation, and organizational skills, Archie excelled as a team manager, project lead, and Major Case Management specialist. His innovative thinking led to the development of two nationally adopted anti-terrorism protocols.

Archie was instrumental in creating sophisticated risk-based identification methodologies, regional threat metrics, and predictive analytics. His research into counter-radicalization policies significantly advanced the field, and he passionately shared his knowledge as an instructor in analysis and governance.

As a threat finance subject matter Advisor at Simon Fraser University and a lecturer in the Applied Masters Program on Terrorism, Risk, and Security Studies, Archie inspired and educated the next generation of experts. His role as a Senior Fellow at the Global Peace Institute further underscored his commitment to creating a safer and more secure world.

A meta-analytical and forward-thinking visionary, Archie Alafriz III’s legacy of innovation, leadership, and dedication will forever be remembered by his colleagues, students, and the countless individuals whose lives were positively impacted by his work.

Rest in Peace, Brother.
