LAW220 - Arrest, Search and Use of Force

Few subjects are as integral to the police and security roles as those of arrest, the use of force, and search. In these vital areas, the circumstances under which arrest is justified are discussed, together with the related topics of the use of force in arresting, the immediate search of the person arrested, and the rights of the person arrested. The protections available to the person arresting, and the various situations under which the accused person must be released or may be detained are studied. The broad function of the search of a person, place or vehicle with or without warrant is examined and the law as it pertains to the lawful use of force, and the limits placed on that use. In no other subject is the impact of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so strongly felt, and such impacts are discussed as the topic arises.

LAW250 - Crime Prevention and Community Policing

Community oriented policing is a strategy for forging partnerships between police services and local communities. The community will participate in identifying issues of local concern and in helping find solutions. The police are the driving force behind establishing public safety and play a coordinating role in mobilizing the active participation of citizens, community groups and government agencies in developing and implementing measures for safety and security in local communities. The success of the strategy depends upon police officers and local communities having the flexibility to analyze, and initiate proactive crime prevention measures.  In this course, students explore the theories and practices of community policing as it exists in Ontario today.  Students learn how to develop and implement community policing measures and practices, along with the technology and techniques used to reduce crime.
