Board Meetings

BOARD MEETINGS

The London Police Service Board (the Board) holds up to 12 regular open Board meetings a year.

The Board meets regularly to provide oversight, set priorities, and ensure effective policing that reflects community needs. At these meetings, the Board:

Monitors organizational performance through routine updates and reports from the Chief of Police on operational matters, strategic initiatives, and community concerns
Approves policies, and monitors and approves the budget and the Strategic Plan
Receives presentations from police leadership, external experts, and community stakeholders
Discusses key issues such as crime trends, public safety initiatives, diversity and inclusion efforts, and legislative changes
Hears from delegations on matters of public interest
Receives updates from its standing committees and Board representatives
Engages in discussions and asks questions to inform decision making

Meeting Agendas and Reports

Proposed agendas are posted online seven days before each Board meeting. The finalized agenda and corresponding reports are posted the day before the meeting to ensure transparency and accessibility.

Open vs. Closed Meetings

The Board is committed to conducting its business openly and transparently. Per the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA), Board meetings are generally open to the public. However, certain matters (such as confidential personnel issues, legal advice, labour relations and public security concerns) may require discussion in a closed (in-camera) session, as permitted under Section 44 of the CSPA.
