  • one person appointed by resolution of the Municipal Council, who is neither a member of the Municipal Council nor an employee of the municipality; and
  • one person appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.

The role of the Board is to:

  • participate in the selection of the Detachment Commander of the detachment assigned to the municipality;
  • generally determine objectives and priorities for police services, after consultation with the Detachment Commander;
  • establish, after consultation with the Detachment Commander, any local policies with respect to police services;
  • monitor the performance of the Detachment Commander;
  • receive regular reports from the Detachment Commander on disclosures and decisions made under section 49 of the Police Services Act; and
  • review the Detachment Commander's administration of the complaints system under part V and receive regular reports from the Detachment Commander on his or her administration of the complaints system
