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.
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.
Select the correct UCR code, Criminal Code section, subsection, and counts — and ensure the charge matches the facts.
Demonstrate actus reus and mens rea. Articulate every legal element. Link evidence directly to the charge.
Record grounds, Charter compliance, use of force, search and seizure authorities — completely and accurately.
Produce a chronological, clear, unambiguous narrative that a Crown prosecutor can prosecute on the first read.
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.
Confirms the officer has selected the correct charge code, section, and subsection for the facts as written.
Checks that actus reus, mens rea, identity, time/place, and charge-specific elements are clearly articulated in the narrative.
Validates reports against your agency's internal submission requirements — all required sections present and accounted for.
Tells the officer exactly what's missing, what needs strengthening, and what's done right — without rewriting a word.
From the officer at the keyboard to the Crown in the courtroom — 10-2 reduces friction and improves outcomes at every step.
Officers submit reports that already include correct charges, proven elements, and clearly articulated grounds — fewer returns, faster progression.
Defects are caught at the point of writing. The cycle of officer → reviewer → officer → Crown → back again is broken before it starts.
Reports consistently link evidence to elements, demonstrate actus reus and mens rea, and articulate lawful grounds — every time.
Less time rewriting. More time on investigations, patrol, and community engagement. A better use of sworn officer capacity.
Supervisors shift from fixing errors to validating quality. More time for complex files and meaningful officer coaching.
Track common defects, training gaps, and performance trends across your agency — and drive systematic improvement.
