Saint John Board of Police Commissioners
Saint John Police
Background
The City of Saint John is seeking applications from residents interested in serving on the Saint John Board of Police Commissioners .
The Board of Police Commissioners provides civilian governance and oversight of the Saint John Police Force in accordance with the New Brunswick Police Act . Commissioners help establish priorities, policies, and strategic direction for policing services in Saint John while ensuring accountability to the community.
The City encourages applications from individuals representing a broad cross-section of the Saint John community. Diverse perspectives and experiences help strengthen the Board's ability to serve residents effectively.
The Saint John Board of Police Commissioners (the “Commission”) is the governance authority for the Police Force. The role of the Commission is to provide and maintain an adequate, efficient and effective police force – one that is aligned, to a reasonable degree, with the community’s evolving needs, values and expectations. The Commission shall provide objective civilian governance through strategic direction, oversight and public accountability. In so doing, the Commission must respect the Chief of Police’s lawful operational independence regarding individual operational decisions – i.e. whether and whom to investigate, prosecute, or arrest.
The Commission has a maximum of eight appointed commissioners and a minimum of seven. The Province of New Brunswick is responsible for appointing one commissioner. The Mayor (or designate) is a board member and Common Council appoints the remaining commissioners.
