Speaking at Board Meetings

The Police Services Board cannot do its job without knowing the needs, concerns and priorities of the community. It gathers that kind of input through several mechanisms, one of which is through hearing delegations at Board meetings. We want to continually improve police services in our City and to do that, we need you to share your concerns or innovative ideas. Even better, get involved in crime prevention programs in your own neighbourhood; information on how to get involved is available on their website.

The Police Services Board entertains public delegations at its regular monthly meetings. As these are business meetings each delegation is restricted to five minutes, not including any questions the Board members may wish to ask you following the presentation. Requests must be made at least one week before the meeting date and the subject matter must be within the jurisdiction of the Board.  You are encouraged to submit your concerns in writing so they can be distributed to the Board members in advance of the meeting; this allows them to come to the meeting better prepared to discuss it with you. If you would rather not appear before the Board you can submit your comments in writing.

If you are interested in speaking to the Police Services Board, please contact the Board office. Please note that individual complaints are not considered at Board meetings as there is a legislated public complaints process to deal with such matters that must be followed and the Board must not interfere in that process - see the section on this website or at the Ottawa Police website.
