Powassan Police Services Board
Police services boards oversee how policing is provided in their local community. They contribute to their community’s safety and well-being by working with local citizens and organizations to make sure their community receives the appropriate policing it needs.
A municipality’s policing is overseen by a board where the community chooses to either:
- establish a municipal police force
- establish a joint police force with other municipalities
- contract with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to receive policing services
Police services boards consist of:
- an equal number of members appointed from both the regional or municipal council and the province
- one community member is chosen by the council
