Welcome
to Our Website
Canadian Association of Police Boards (CAPB) is the only national
organization dedicated to excellence in police governance in Canada.
Since 1989, CAPB has worked diligently to achieve the highest
standards as the national voice of civilian oversight of municipal
police. We have grown to represent more than 75 municipal police
boards and commissions across Canada that together employ in excess
of 35,000 police personnel - approximately three-quarters of the
municipal police personnel in Canada.
Members of municipal police boards and commissions are locally
elected officials and citizen representatives who play a valuable
role in their communities. As a non-profit association, the CAPB
relies on the support of its members, partners and others who
value the importance of effective policing and police governance.
CAPB’s strategy for future growth and development includes
enhancing services to our members. One of our goals is to become
the credible and leading national voice advocating for civilian
police governance in Canada. We will do that by enhancing and
improving the capacity for and effectiveness of the policy and
research services delivered by the CAPB.
We are currently updating our site. In the future, we will offer
a current information exchange, educational resources and updates
on legislation and advocacy. We hope you will come back often
to check our newest updates.
