Being a member of the OAPSB has never been more important. As your association, the OAPSB advocates for legislation and provincial support to create a consistent and effective structure for boards and effective standards for police governance in Ontario. The Community Safety and Policing Act (CSPA) is expected to come into force in the spring of 2024. The CSPA outlines new responsibilities and requirements for police governance boards and police services. Our work to support you through this transition and beyond is aligned with our three strategic pillars, Advocacy, Expertise and Education. We provide our members with the tools, knowledge and professional development needed to establish your board priorities, and to create objectives, policies, and performance expectations for your police services.
Benefits of an OAPSB Membership include:
