As outlined in section 31 of the Ontario Police Services Act (OPSA), the role of police services boards includes determining objectives, priorities and policies for local police services, setting the annual police budget, making decisions governing the structure of the local police service and developing and implementing the Board’s Strategic Plan. The Brantford Police Services Board (BPSB) is the legal entity and authority for Brantford Police Services (BPS) and is responsible for priority setting, the provision of crime prevention, and law enforcement in the city of Brantford.
Public Feedback Opportunities
In keeping with the OPSA requirement, the Brantford Police Services Board (BPSB) is seeking public input through a variety of opportunities for residents to provide input regarding police services priorities, including an anonymous public online survey as well as other engagement tools and opportunities, available at letstalkbrantford.ca/bpsbpriorities.
