Other duties of officer conducting a parade

(1) The police officer responsible for conducting a parade shall be the only person responsible for selecting the persons to be placed in a particular parade. Before the parade, such officer shall inform himself of the statement provided to the police by the identification witness. Where a witness has described a particular suspect in a peculiar manner, then the officer conducting the parade would need to be aware of such description in order to ensure that when the suspect is placed in the parade that particular feature does not stand out as a distinct difference. (2) The officer conducting a parade must ensure that under no circumstances will the identification witness be allowed to see the persons who are being brought into the police station for the purpose of forming the parade along with the suspect. The identification witness should be kept in a closed room by himself until the parade line-up has been composed and should thereafter be called out of that room by a police officer who was not permitted to see the composition of the parade line-up. (3) The officer conducting a parade must be as detailed as possible when preparing his report. (4) In the case of a parade involving more than one identification witness, a police runner must be available to call each witness and each such runner should submit a report. (5) The runner should not be able to view the line-up either before going to call the identification witness or whilst escorting such witness to the room in which the parade is being held.
