The local RCMP officer told her. My question is can the summons be served this way by the officer and should there not be supporting documents, What should we do next?

The police are not required to provide supporting documents. However, once the matter is court, the Crown prosecutor, upon request, must make disclosure to the defendant's counsel, or if the defendant is representing himself or herself, to him or her.
