Police and regulatory investigators face daunting challenges in complying with the Charter and often receive conflicting legal advice on Charter interpretation and compliance procedure. Infringement may not only result in lost cases, but can also lead to civil lawsuits, actions for Human Rights violations and internal disciplinary actions. Criminals may escape justice.
This new OsgoodePD program developed by two leading criminal case prosecutors, Federal and Provincial, and a highly experienced law enforcement officer will give you the practical tools you need to meet the most recurrent Charter challenges you face in your work as an investigator.
