Reviews on the Record

Review on the record (s. 141)

A review on the record comes into play only if a discipline proceeding has been held. The review is conducted by a retired judge ("adjudicator") who reviews essentially all records related to the investigation and the discipline proceeding. A member is not a compellable witness at the review and the member, the complainant, the Discipline Authority and the Police Complaint Commissioner may all make submissions to the adjudicator, directly or through their agent or counsel. The adjudicator decides whether any misconduct has been proven, determines the appropriate disciplinary or corrective measures to be taken and recommends to a Chief or Board any policy or practice changes the adjudicator considers advisable. The decision of the adjudicator is final and conclusive.
