    Study Notes

    Special Constables Training - Key Concepts

    • Release considerations under section 493.1 of the Criminal Code (CC) include aiming for the earliest opportunity and ensuring conditions are reasonable for the accused.
    • The three justifications for detention in custody are categorized as Primary Grounds, Secondary Grounds, and Tertiary Grounds.
    • Primary Grounds assess the potential loss of public trust, accused's likelihood of appearing in court, and risk of reoffending while on bail.
    • Reasonable grounds refer to the belief that someone committed an indictable offence, which can be established through evidence or actions observed during a criminal act.
    • A "breach of the peace" is defined as any conduct that disrupts public order or peace.
    • "R" in the acronym RICE does not stand for "risk"; the acronym's meaning should be verified in context.
    • A valid arrest warrant requires the signature of a judicial officer, a description of the accused, and details of the offence; a signature from the charging peace officer is not mandatory.
    • In a lawful arrest, it is not always required to inform the person of the arrest or read them their rights, although informing them is advised.

    Standards of Evidence

    • "Reasonable grounds to believe" indicate a higher threshold than "reasonable grounds to suspect," and both terms are critical in judicial processes.
    • Peace officers can detain individuals based on reasonable grounds to suspect a connection to a crime, with the justification of the necessity of the detention.

    Acronyms and Procedures

    • The acronym P.R.I.C.E stands for Public Interest, Repetition of the Offence, Identity of accused, Court attendance, and Evidence; these factors guide arrest decisions.
    • The Ladder Approach outlines steps in a police officer’s decision-making concerning methods of release, ranging from releasing or compelling the accused to court to issuing an appearance notice or summons.
    • An Appearance Notice remains valid even if the accused refuses to sign the release document.

    Importance of Documentation

    • The contents of an Appearance Notice must include the accused's name, date of birth, address, summary of the offence, and relevant legislation.
