The Canadian Association of Police Boards (CAPB) is a national non-profit association formed in 1989 in response to a recognized need for information exchange, education and advocacy for members of Canadian municipal police governing bodies, including First Nations police governing authorities. The Association provides a vehicle for the collection and sharing of information, and a forum for the discussion of matters relevant to policing in Canada today. As the voice of police boards and commissions across the country, the CAPB also represents its members’ views to the federal government.
As a member of the CAPB, your police governing authority will receive the following services:
- Access to the “Members Only” section of the CAPB’s website, which offers orientation training for new board members, a database of commonly used board policies, a catalogue of resource material that can be ordered free of charge, a Members’ Directory, and more.
- Quarterly newsletters to keep you up-to-date on CAPB activities and news stories from across the country affecting policing.
- Bulletins on important breaking news, such as new federal legislation in the area of public safety and law enforcement.
- Annual reports summarizing the proceedings of the CAPB Annual Meeting and Conference, including resolutions that form the basis of the Association’s advocacy efforts.
- Position papers responding to federal legislation on behalf of police governing authorities, and
- Discounted conference rates.
The CAPB holds an Annual Conference each year, which is one of the best educational and learning opportunities members of police governing bodies have to enhance their effectiveness and that of the police service they govern. The 2010 Conference will be in Saint John, New Brunswick, from August 19 to 21. Keep checking the CAPB website for updates on this 21st Annual Conference.
