What are three ways a Peace Officer can release an accused?

A Peace Officer can release an accused through specific legal processes and mechanisms referred to under the Criminal Code and related legislation. The correct answer features Summons, Appearance Notice, and Undertaking, all of which are recognized legal tools used by Peace Officers to ensure accused individuals are informed of their charges and required to appear in court without the need for immediate incarceration.

A Summons is a legal document that orders an individual to appear in court at a specified date and time. This method allows the accused to remain free while still ensuring their attendance in court.

An Appearance Notice serves a similar purpose, allowing an officer to inform an individual that they must appear in court for a specified offense. This notice is often used for less severe charges or situations where the officer believes the accused will comply with the notice.

An Undertaking is a written promise made by the accused to follow certain conditions, such as attending court or complying with specific stipulations. This prevents unnecessary detention while managing the risks associated with the accused's release.

In contrast, the other choices include processes that do not facilitate a release in the same legal sense or are not applicable in the context of immediate release from custody. Fines, Probation, and Incarceration usually involve penalties rather than release mechanisms.
