Directors of the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB) will be visiting Queens’ Park today (17 May 2010). OAPSB is the voice of civilian governance of policing in Ontario. Delegates will be meeting with representatives of the Provincial Government and opposition parties to discuss public safety and policing matters of mutual concern. Some key issues are: •The need to update the Police Services Act; •Concerns over the illegitimate use of prescription narcotics; •Court security; •Police governance training; and •Unpaid traffic tickets, which have exceeded one billion dollars in Ontario.
