Today’s police leaders and executives are required to navigate complex and often turbulent legal environments. In order to stay on top of the many legal, human rights, accommodation, and workplace issues facing law enforcement organizations in Ontario, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) is hosting a two-day Labour Conference designed by police leaders, for police leaders.
The conference will focus on some of the most important legal issues facing police leaders today.
