Investigators face daunting challenges in complying with the Charter in their real world work. They 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, internal disciplinary action and even lost jobs.

This new OsgoodePD program developed by two leading criminal case prosecutors, Federal and Provincial, and a highly experienced former 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. 

Can’t Make the Date? Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
