Criminal and regulatory investigators face daunting challenges in complying with the Charter, and often receive conflicting legal advice on interpretation and Charter compliant procedure.
Infringement can not only result in lost cases, but can also lead to civil lawsuits, actions for Human Rights violations and internal disciplinary action.
In some cases, 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.
