Extrajudicial Measures (EJM)

This program provides community-based pre-charge measures, where a young person can be adequately dealt with by police warning, caution, or referral to a community program. Young persons (ages 12 to 17) are eligible if in the following situations:
• Young persons alleged to have committed an offence, who accept responsibility for participation or involvement in the commission of the offence;
• Young persons who have been informed of their rights and consent to participate in an Extrajudicial Measure;
• There is sufficient evidence in the opinion of the police officer to proceed with charge(s) against the young person for the offence, and the prosecution is not in any way barred by law.
