Authors Paul Ceyssens and Scott Childs have written one last edition of their Ontario Police Services Act, Fully Annotated: the 2023-24 ed., published in July, 2023. This last edition of this title replaces the 2017 edition with the red cover. Customers wishing to order a copy can do so under the “Legal Text Books” tab on our site, send an email request to earlscourt@saltspring.com, or call us.

This new “final” edition of OPSA should be useable for three or four years, since section 216 of the new CSPA, 2019 provides that complaints made under the Police Services Act and hearings under section 25 of that Act shall continue to be addressed in accordance with the provisions of the Police Services Act as they read immediately before the Act’s repeal (with some qualifications).

Authors Ceyssens and Childs are also writing a “first” edition of the Ontario Police Statutes, Fully Annotated, that will include the new Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, the Special Investigations Unit Act, 2019, & related material. Earlscourt will announce the publication date and the price in the fall of 2024. Please contact Earlscourt if you would like to reserve your copy.
