The Asper Centre Police Accountability Guide, developed by the David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, provides a comprehensive overview of police accountability in Ontario. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of key oversight bodies, explains the complaints and investigation process, and describes the legal framework governing police conduct. The guide also includes practical information to help individuals understand how to file a complaint, what to expect throughout the process, and the potential outcomes.
This resource is being shared to enhance public awareness and understanding of police oversight in Ontario, and to provide clear, accessible information for individuals seeking to navigate the complaints process or learn more about their rights. It supports the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency’s ( LECA) commitment to transparency, accountability, and public education.
