Investigation and the Bail/Release Process in Etobicoke
Etobicoke is served by the 22nd and 23rd Divisions of Toronto Police Services – therefore, when arrested in Etobicoke, police must inform you of your rights to counsel, which allow you to retain the services of a lawyer after your arrest. It is always recommended to obtain legal advice before speaking to the police.
Depending on the nature of your offence, the police with either release you after arrest with a promise to appear in court at a specified date, or hold you in custody for a bail hearing. If the offence occurred in Etobicoke, you will have to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Etobicoke, which has jurisdiction over the area.
If you remain in custody for your bail hearing, the police will bring you to an Etobicoke courthouse in front of the judge within 24 hours after your arrest. While you are in custody, your criminal defence lawyer will advise you on the best course of action, and will start working on your release.
When you are brought to court for your bail hearing, your criminal defence lawyer will speak to the Crown on your behalf and suggest a bail plan. The Crown may then consent to release based on your plan, or contest your bail. If the Crown seeks detention, your criminal lawyer will advocate for your bail and explain to the court why less strict bail conditions are appropriate.
