Ottawa Police Services Board
The Ottawa Police Services Board is a seven-member civilian body that oversees the Ottawa Police Service.
The Board is responsible for setting the overall objectives and priorities for the provision of police services, after consultation with the Chief. It is also responsible for hiring and monitoring the performance of the Chief, approving the annual police budget, and preparing a business plan for the Police Service every three years.
