Attending a Board meeting is an excellent way to stay informed, and to better understand how policing is shaped at the governance level.
The London Police Service Board has elected Ryan Gauss as Chair and Nancy Branscombe as Vice Chair for the remainder of the 2025 term.
The London Police Service (LPS) has formally taken the 30 Forward pledge, joining a growing network of agencies committed to equity, fairness, and stronger public service. On May 5, 2025, the LPS launched its public campaign in support of 30 Forward continuing efforts to remove barriers for women in policing through improved data collection, enhanced community outreach, and increased internal engagement.
Vice-Chair Ryan Gauss will assume the duties of Acting Chair until the Board formally elects a new Chair at its next meeting on May 15, 2025.
Civilian oversight in policing has gained prominence, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability and community trust in how policing services are delivered.
