Issues relating to ‘on the ground’ policing, proper use of

oversight is needed? How much is too much, fettering law

enforcement’s ability to carry out its lawful duties? How to

strike the right balance?

A widely respected faculty will offer guidance on key

challenges facing those involved in the oversight and

management of law enforcement bodies, the officers

themselves and the Canadian justice system. This conference

will be a forum for robust discussion and an opportunity to

ask your questions and make your comments.
