I never saw this word used so much until I came here. Is it a Canadian thing? 
Is it preferable to use instead of "the?" That seems to be how it's used. Why not just say "the?" 
-------------- I ate a candy bar today. Said candy bar was $2. 
Should the originating officer leave and another loan officer assume the credit relationship, how much time will be required by said officer to acclimate themselves with, not only the extensions of credit, but with the borrowers also.

I suppose "aforementioned" would work too.

But but but (butts are for cigarettes) "the" would work instead of "said." 
Yes "the" is used frequently here but at least it would be consistent.
