The
Cobourg Police Services Board (CPSB) is the civilian body
that governs the management of the Police Service. As
mandated by the Ontario Police Services Act, the CPSB
consists of five members, two appointed by the Province
of Ontario and three chosen by Regional Council. Cobourg
has recognized the policing of Hamilton Township by appointing
a representative from Hamilton Township but without voting
privileges.
The Board ensures the delivery of adequate and effective
policing by appointing members to the Service, working
with the Chief in identifying objectives and priorities
and by creating policies for everyone to follow. The
Board may give orders or directions, but only to the
Chief and not to any other member of the Service. The
Board is not allowed to direct the Chief with respect
to specific operational decisions or with respect to
the day-to-day operation of the Service.
The Act requires that the
Board consist of:
Head
of Council:
Councillor Bill MacDonald
Member of Council:
Councillor Stan Frost
Person Appointed By Council:
Greg Kay
Two persons appointed by the Lieutenant
Governor in Council:
