LONDON POLICE SERVICE BOARD

Board Governance Policies

Board Governance Policies define how the Police Service Board operates, ensuring transparency, accountability and effective decision making. These policies outline the Board’s roles and responsibilities, meeting procedures, ethical standards and oversight functions. Together, they form the foundation of the Board’s Governance Manual, which guides how the Board fulfills its mandate.

This policy outlines the governance responsibilities of the Board regarding Special Investigations Unit (“SIU”) investigations and Section 81 (s. 81) reports under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA). It ensures that the Board exercises effective oversight, ensures compliance with legislative requirements, and upholds public accountability in police oversight matters.

The Board’s role is not to conduct investigations but to ensure:

• The Chief of Police fulfills all s. 81 obligations through proper internal processes.
• The Board exercises oversight by reviewing reports and enforcing corrective actions where needed.
• The public is informed of findings in a responsible, transparent manner.
