Legal Resources
The COPS App provides specialized legal information across five critical areas of law enforcement. Each category is regularly updated with the latest developments in Canadian law.

Patrol
Front-line legal toolkit with instant access to critical procedures and precedents. Master arrest powers, search authorities, and use-of-force frameworks that safeguard both officers and the public. Stay ahead of evolving case law affecting daily policing operations.

Detectives
Investigative legal resources for complex casework. Access precise warrant requirements, legally-sound interview techniques, and evidence handling protocols that withstand courtroom scrutiny. Navigate case law updates that directly impact investigative success rates.

Tactical
Specialized legal framework for high-risk tactical operations and critical incidents. Confidently execute entry authorities, manage hostage situations, and navigate barricaded suspect scenarios within Canadian legal boundaries. Access tactical-specific precedents that support sound operational decision-making.

Traffic
Traffic investigation legal reference with latest legislative updates. Stay current on impaired driving testing procedures, vehicle search authorities, and roadside screening regulations across jurisdictions. Updates on provincial and federal traffic law changes that impact enforcement powers.
Complete Operational Platform
Go beyond legal reference with integrated tools for incident command, shared operational awareness, secure communications, AI-assisted legal research, and multilingual statement transcription—all designed specifically for Canadian law enforcement.
Incident Command
Structured tools for managing critical incidents with greater clarity and confidence. Create SMEAC briefings, develop Mission Board priority statements, and work through the ICLEAR framework using pre-filled dropdowns designed to support faster planning, clear radio communication, and organized decision-making. Completed documents can be exported to PDF for operational records and post-incident review.
TeamView
Shared operational awareness for critical incidents, planned operations, and everyday police work. View member locations, callsigns, roles, equipment, kit, and photographs in real time. Add coordinates, location pings, and photo-enabled waypoints, with automatic building geometry and side labels supporting clearer coordination around structures.
TeamView also supports cross-agency collaboration, allowing authorized personnel from different police departments to work from the same operational picture. Locations and shared operational data are protected with end-to-end encryption.
Secure Messaging
End-to-end encrypted messaging designed around police workflows. Create secure group conversations, invite authorized members, and communicate using verified names and callsigns so there is a clear record of who said what and when.
Messages are searchable and can be exported into disclosure-friendly, court-ready PDF documentation. Access is limited to approved police agencies and authorized personnel.
Police Built AI Assistant
Ask questions about Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal law using text or voice. The AI Assistant provides clear responses with supporting references drawn from official Canadian government and legal sources.
Designed with input from experienced police officers, the assistant helps personnel research legislation, legal authorities, and procedural questions more efficiently while keeping the officer responsible for the final decision.
Statements and Transcription
Record audio or video statements directly within the COPS App and generate AI-assisted transcripts shortly afterward. Multilingual support allows statements in multiple languages to be transcribed and, where required, translated into English.
Officers can review the transcript, make corrections, approve the final version, and create clear, court-friendly documentation for investigative and disclosure purposes.
