Summary
This is a report on the findings of a two-step process for a ministerial review of CED use and policies in Nova Scotia. The first phase directed that local and cross-jurisdictional research be completed, to include data on policies and procedures respecting CED use in Nova Scotia and a review of research currently underway in other jurisdictions. In part two of the process, an advisory panel, with representation from law enforcement and scientific communities, will be established to review the findings and provide advice to the Minister.
