I just heard OPP units say they had a party in custody for a 31-4...clearly its not a 10 code or a CNI...anyone heard this before?

It may be a CNI

34.1 is an assault committed in defending yourself. usually this is a reason not to be charged.

34. (1) A person is not guilty of an offence if

(a) they believe on reasonable grounds that force is being used against them or another person or that a threat of force is being made against them or another person;


(b) the act that constitutes the offence is committed for the purpose of defending or protecting themselves or the other person from that use or threat of force; and


(c) the act committed is reasonable in the circumstances.

So here is a question, when they give a CNI does that correlate to the Criminal Code of Canada numbers?

31.4 is the section of the Ontario Liquor License Act that refers to being intoxicated in a public place.

Niagara Regional Police used to (probably still do) refer to any drunk person as being "31-4"... OPP would dispatch a drunk driver as "Possible 253" (being the criminal code section for DWI).. NRPS always said "A possible 31-4 driver".

No. As an example, the CNI entry for Sex Crimes is 346, but the Criminal Code section 346 is for Extortion.

This memo book is a few years old, but below is a pic of the page in their memo books that refer to CNI flags and codes. The flags have obviously been updated (this book is at least 10 years old).
