Synopsis

This book covers the role of a constable in Canada, outlining the origins of this position and its legal powers and duties. The author scrutinizes the changing nature of the constable's authority, positions within the law, and responsibilities within the broader context of criminal justice administration. A significant focus is given to the constable's relationship with Justices of the Peace and their role in upholding the peace and enforcing the law. The text also delves into the constable's general and special authority, and their ability to arrest offenders with and without a warrant. Considerable attention is paid to the different kinds of offenses that constables are authorized to address, as well as the limits of their authority and the importance of acting within those limits. This book will be helpful to readers interested in the history of law enforcement, the role of constables in maintaining peace and order, and the legal framework that governs their actions.
