Course Description

With recent changes in case law and legislation, warrants and production orders are now a daily occurrence in policing and other enforcement agencies. This 30-hour course will provide the necessary training to officers from patrol to major crime in preparing quality Information to Obtain (ITO) that will pass judicial scrutiny. Participants will learn the theory and the law surrounding issuance of judicial authorizations and officers will draft common ITO and warrants that meet the minimum legal standard. The minimum legal standard is the standard of review used by trial courts when warrants are challenged under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The minimum legal standard is met when the content of the supporting ITO could justify the granting of the corresponding warrant by the issuing judicial authority.
