Helping Canadian police agencies produce stronger, more complete, and more court-ready reports
10-2 — Guided Validation for Court-Ready Police Reports

From Initial Police Report
to Proven Guilty in Court.

A lot of things have to go right — starting with the first report. 10-2 guides officers through charge selection, legal elements, and evidence articulation so reports are court-ready on the first submission.

10-2 improves first-draft report quality by supporting legal alignment, evidentiary completeness, and review readiness before files reach supervisors and Crown.

Less rework. Lower reviewer burden. Stronger files. Greater confidence in court.
Clear Communication. Stronger Reports. Safer Communities.

10-2
Changes all of that — one validated report at a time

Officers are asked to do four jobs at once. Without the tools to do any of them perfectly.

Every chargeable report demands lawyer-like charge selection, prosecutor-level legal proof, auditor-grade documentation, and author-quality writing — all at once, under pressure, with no structured guidance.

⚖️
Think like a lawyer

Select the correct UCR code, Criminal Code section, subsection, and counts — and ensure the charge matches the facts.

🔍
Prove like a prosecutor

Demonstrate actus reus and mens rea. Articulate every legal element. Link evidence directly to the charge.

📋
Document like an auditor

Record grounds, Charter compliance, use of force, search and seizure authorities — completely and accurately.

✍️
Write like an author

Produce a chronological, clear, unambiguous narrative that a Crown prosecutor can prosecute on the first read.

"When officers don't get this right, reviewers become bottlenecks. Files bounce back and forth. Officer time is consumed by rewrites. Charges fail — not because the policing was poor, but because the report didn't clearly articulate everything."
The cascade of consequences:
Reviewer bottlenecks
Rework cycles
Weakened charge files
Reduced court outcomes

Guided Validation for Court-Ready Police Reports.

10-2 doesn't rewrite reports. It validates them as they're written — giving officers real-time feedback on charge selection, legal elements, and report completeness before the report is ever submitted.

Pain Points
  • Implicit knowledge doesn't automatically translate to complete reports
  • Complex, evolving case law changes what's required

  • Repeatedly sending the same reports back for the same issues
  • Inconsistent quality across officers creates unpredictable workload
  • Less time for coaching because consumed by error correction

Crown Prosecutor
Needs complete, clear, legally sound files. Every time. Without chasing down missing pieces.
Pain Points
  • Receiving files that require clarification before prosecution can begin
  • Missing or poorly articulated legal elements create disclosure risk
  • Grounds and Charter compliance unclear — requiring follow-up
  • Evidence not clearly linked to the charge in the narrative
  • Inconsistent report quality across officers and agencies
With 10-2
  • Files arrive with elements proven and charges properly supported
  • Charter and grounds documentation consistently present
  • Evidence explicitly linked to the narrative and charge
  • Prosecution-ready files from first receipt
  • Faster case progression and stronger charge outcomes
"A report I can prosecute from page one. That's what 10-2 delivers."

Less rework. Lower reviewer burden. Stronger files. Greater confidence in court.

First-Pass Approval

Officers submit reports that already include correct charges, proven elements, and clearly articulated grounds — fewer returns, faster progression.

Reduced Rework

Defects are caught at the point of writing. The cycle of officer → reviewer → officer → Crown → back again is broken before it starts.

Stronger Charge Files

Reports consistently link evidence to elements, demonstrate actus reus and mens rea, and articulate lawful grounds — every time.

Officer Productivity

Less time rewriting. More time on investigations, patrol, and community engagement. A better use of sworn officer capacity.

Reviewer Throughput

Supervisors shift from fixing errors to validating quality. More time for complex files and meaningful officer coaching.

Organizational Visibility

Track common defects, training gaps, and performance trends across your agency — and drive systematic improvement.
