ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE
A dynamic look at how policing is progressing in Canada. From the national rollout of Body Worn Cameras and the implementation of DEMS to support it, from amendments to provincial Police Act and firearms legislations to the ongoing commitment to uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, CI’s 14th Annual Conference on the Law of Policing, Western Edition, focuses on the most critical policies and procedures affecting police and law enforcement agencies. Here are just some of the timely topics we will delve into this year:
- Digital Evidence Management: Crown Perspectives for Meeting Heightened Expectations for Digital Evidence Sharing and Integrity
- Roundtable Discussion on Emerging Charter Challenges Affecting Police Operations
- Clarifying the Latest Changes to Confidential Informants and Privilege in the Crime Stoppers Program
- Navigating A Surge Complaints and Parallel Complaints to Oversight Bodies
Join two days of balanced perspectives on the most pressing issues facing police services, police associations, police boards, independent police oversight agencies, and their counsel. If this is your first time attending, or if you are a returning delegate, we look forward to seeing you in Surrey this November!
