We're trained on the law, what is permitted and what is not permitted and what to look for, to make sure we identify instances where there might be some risk of harm or harassment, but we're also trained in the practice and the techniques of investigation. Our investigators get training on investigative techniques that include interviewing, evidence collection, evidence analysis and assessment, and the prosecution of cases, because as I mentioned earlier, police services in Ontario are subject to specific legislation which has a scheme of discipline.
The training includes this broad spectrum of what an investigator would need to know in order to properly investigate and prepare a case, but every member receives broader training on how to maintain a respectful and safe work environment. This includes training on what the law is and what's prohibited, on how to recognize misconduct, and on how to make referrals to the support benefits that I discussed: employee and family assistance, the diversity management unit, the peer support groups. These are all part of the training package.
Members receive their training formally in class. We do have the Toronto Police College. Quite a bit of its attention is devoted to what I will call compliance issues, to making sure that we respect and comply with the various laws.
