Regulation Number(s):
N/A
Instrument Type:
Regulation - LGIC
Bill or Act:
Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019
Summary of Proposal:
In March 2019, the government passed the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA), as part of the Comprehensive Ontario Police Services Act, 2019. Once in force, the CSPA will replace the current Police Services Act (PSA). The CSPA is an opportunity to modernize policing and enhance community safety in Ontario.
As part of the work to bring the Act into force, the Ministry of the Solicitor General (SolGen) is working on regulations on a number of matters.
At this time, SolGen is requesting public and stakeholder input on a proposed regulation related to police service board member code of conduct.
The CSPA requires Police Service Board Members to comply with a code of conduct. This regulation sets out the code of conduct for police service board members which is intended to strengthen civilian governance by clarifying the behaviors that are expected and prohibited of individual board members.
For more detail, please see the attached draft regulation.
SolGen welcomes your comments and feedback.
