Join us this March 18 via Zoom for a webinar with the RCMP about Red Flag laws in Canada. This space is open to frontline workers, advocates, community members, or individuals navigating a difficult situation, and is designed to demystify how Red Flag orders work and how they apply in family and intimate partner violence cases.
Leading the session is Corporal Vicki Noel, who has 21 years of experience with the RCMP and is currently serving at National Headquarters in Ottawa with the National Office of Investigative Standards and Practices. She will provide an in-depth look at Canada’s Red Flag laws and their application in cases of family and intimate partner violence.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and extensive experience investigating intimate partner violence across Alberta, New Brunswick, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, Cpl. Noel brings firsthand, cross-Canada expertise to this critical topic.
Whether you’re a frontline worker, a community advocate, or someone navigating a dangerous personal situation, this session offers valuable, real-world guidance from an officer with firsthand expertise across Canada.
