":~' ......... 157 U" '.. · - - ---- - - ~------ --- ....•. ;. .f,..• . , ;11 r " Introduction In this Province, the office of constable is created by statute alone; but the officer no doubt is the same person, and possesses the same powers and authori­ ties which the constable in England possesses, for it was one of the di~tinctive features in all our legislation to assimilate our laws and institutions to thi(pattern which we had before us in the laws and institutions of England; and, in copying them, we did not fail to introduce the constable as the type of peace and order in social life. Adam Wilson, The Constable's Guide (1859: 16) [TRANSLATION] Our system for the administration ofjustice is entirely different, and both the role and status of the police withjn this system are clear and well defined by legislative provisions. Mr. Justice Turgeon, in Bisaillon v. Keable and Attorney General of Quebec (1980), 17 C.R. (3d) 193 at 204 (Que. C.A.) Until very recently, and despite some very explh::it amendments of pro­ vincial legislation respecting the police, Canadjan c6urts, on the few occa­ sions on which they have been called upon to consider the matter at all, have relied heavily on English jurisprudence in delineating the status of the police in this country. However, recent events ~n Canada have raised both implicit and explicit challenges to define the legal status of the police in uniquely Canadian terms. In the context of this debate, the recent judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal in Bisaillon v. Keable and Attorney General of Quebec is one of the more explicit calls for a definition of the legal status ofthe .. police that does not rely on the assumption that the principles governing the Canadian police system are the same as those of the English system from which it has derived. The principal issue on which discussion of the legal status of the police I) " centres is that of the accountability of the police. In this respect, the legal .... '~-...... status of the police is of importance in terms of its implications for internal as , well as external accounTability. As Bayley has pointed out, even a cursory \ review of structures for the control of the police in a variety of countries \, reveals that "it is not possible to say that democratic government requires a I particular mode of control" (1979: 131). In a country such as Canada, which ,I has such fragmented and diversified arrangements for the organization of policing, one would not necessarily expect to find that the police share a ~I ' uniform status regardless of the jurisdiction in which they serve. Since con­ stitutional authority to define this stC;itus resides in at least eleven legislative \ . bodies in this country, differences can be expected. t \ 3 Preceding page blank ,. r This Study Paper examines the legal status of the police in Canada at the present time, and considers its implications for the government of the police Historical examination ofthe origins of our present system, however, quickly and the exercise of police authority. Because the current legal status of the challenges such assumptions, and helps us to understand that legal principles police is so often legislatively expressed with reference to the traditional need not be cast in stone; that change is as essential as stability to healthy offices of "constable" and "peace officer", the paper also examines the survival. historical origins and evolution of these offices.

  • Reintegration Program: Does Your Organization Need to Build One?
    Reintegration Program: Does Your Organization Need to Build One? About the EPS Reintegration Program Since its inception in 2009, the peer-driven EPS Reintegration Program has assisted first responders and other public safety personnel in returning to work after a critical incident or long-term absence from the workplace due to a physical or psychological injury. Members of the Reintegration Team do their work in partnership with clinicians and other stakeholders (e.g. Workers’ Compensation Board) to build the member’s return-to-work plan. The program has two streams, each with its own goal: 1. Short term. Delivered after involvement in a critical event such as, officer involved shootings, major collisions, attempted disarmings, serious assaults, fatalities and more. It is intended to be delivered post event and prior to a psychological injury. One hundred and seventy EPS members have accessed this program to date. 2. Long term. Focused on returning members to work after a physical and/or psychological injury has occurred. It is possible that there has been a leave of absence from the workplace, a need for modified duties or a possibility that they are your organization’s “Working Wounded”. Seventy-five EPS members have accessed this program to date. *In the last three years, The Reintegration Team has also worked with members in the disciplinary process on a voluntary basis. This has had the effect of helping members to feel invested in continuing to work on areas for growth while awaiting decisions from inquiries. How Does the Long Term Program Work? If dealing with a psychological injury, members will work with their clinical and reintegration team to build a personalized list of stress-inducing environments, situations, and/ or equipment (e.g.

  • The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F
    Conflict Quarterly The Canadian Security Intelligence Service: Squaring the Demands of National Security with Canadian Democracy* by Gerard F. Rutan Political truth is always precious in a democracy for it always makes up the first element of justice. Political truth is always suspect in a dictatorship, for it usually makes up the first element of treason. Anon. INTRODUCTION This article is historical in methodology, descriptive/analytic in focus. It was written to offer a primarily European readership an understanding of the origins, development, structure, and functions of the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Canadians who are, naturally, more familiar with the history and building of the CSIS will find it somewhat basic. Persons knowledgeable in security in­ telligence affairs will find little new or exciting in it. Yet, it is important that this case study of how a democratic state faced a scandal in its security intelligence functions, and came out of the scandal with a new, legal and democratic security intelligence process, be examined and ex­ plained. There are few state systems on earth today which have had the ability and the political will to do what Canada did: to confront an in­ telligence/security scandal and turn it into a strengthening of democracy. The Commission of Inquiry Concerning Certain Activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, more popularly known as the McDonald Commission, was established in July 1977. The proximate cause for its establishment was an official statement by the then Commis­ sioner of the RCMP that allegations of participation by the force in il­ legal acts (including the break-in at a Quebec press agency office) might have some basis in fact.1 The Commission acknowledged that some members of the force might have been using methods and procedures not sanctioned by law in the performance of their duties for some time, par­ ticularly those duties associated with national defense and counteres­ pionage or counter-terrorism.

  • Selected Police-Reported Crime and Calls for Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to March 2021 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Selected police-reported crime and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to March 2021 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, May 18, 2021 Police-reported data on selected types of crimes and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to March 2021 are now available. Note to readers The Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics is conducting a special survey collection from a sample of police services across Canada to measure the impact of COVID-19 on selected types of crimes and on calls for service. Data will continue to be collected monthly until December 2021 and to be reported regularly. This is the fifth release of this special data collection by Statistics Canada. Previously published data may have been revised. For this reference period, 19 police services provided data on a voluntary basis. These police services are the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, London Police Service, Montréal Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa Police Service, Regina Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, Saskatoon Police Service, Sûreté du Québec, Toronto Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, Victoria Police Department, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Winnipeg Police Service, and York Regional Police. Police services that responded to this survey serve more than two-thirds (71%) of the Canadian population. Although the Edmonton Police Service, Montréal Police Service, RCMP, Sûreté du Québec and Winnipeg Police Service were unable to provide data on calls for service, the police services that did provide these data serve one-third (32%) of the Canadian population.
