SCRUTINY OF POLICE FORCES HAS NEVER BEEN MORE INTENSE.
These are very turbulent times for police forces, police associations and their advisors. Legislative changes are pending or have recently come into force in several provinces, and changes are anticipated at the RCMP. The
Supreme Court of Canada has mandated disclosure of police disciplinary records to accused persons. The Braidwood Inquiry has also turned the spotlight on use of force. And police forces are increasingly the target of civil litigation.
The Canadian Institute’s inaugural Western Canadian Conference on The Law of Policing is designed to give you two days of up-to-date substantive law as well as practical advice on implementing it in your organization. To name just a few features:
- Stimulating panels on implementing the controversial McNeil case, adjudication, internal investigations, use of force and other pressing topics;
- The keynote address from The Hon. Thomas Braidwood, Q.C.;
- A stellar faculty that includes a wide variety of perspectives, including management, officers, plaintiff Bar, defence Bar, external review agencies, the Crown, municipal forces and the RCMP;
And much more!
PLUS, if you’re involved in police discipline, you won’t want to miss the pre-conference workshop on the Fundamentals of Administrative Law.
We look forward to seeing you there!
