This question tests how a Community Peace Officer’s enforcement authority is structured. CPOs have power to enforce municipal by-laws and provincial regulations within their jurisdiction, plus a defined set of criminal offences that are specifically designated as part of their duties. They’re not empowered to enforce all federal crimes everywhere, nor are they limited only to municipal bylaws or only to traffic offences. The idea of “selected criminal offences” means a targeted list, not the entire criminal code. So the best description is that CPOs enforce municipal by-laws, provincial regulations, and a selection of criminal offences within their jurisdiction.
