Section 10 of the Police Services Act sets out the responsibilities boards must fulfill on behalf of the residents of their municipality. The primary role of the Police Services Board is to establish, in consultation with the Detachment Commander, the overall objectives and priorities for the provision of police services and the safety and security of citizens. 

Board composition

The council members and the citizen appointment by council serve for the duration of the council term of office. The provincial appointees serve up to three-year terms, which expire at various times. At the first meeting each year, the board appoints a chairperson for that year. 

Members of the Police Services Board must always act in the best interest of the public they represent. The Pembroke Police Services Board consists of five members:

Council Representatives: Mayor Ron Gervais, Chair and Councillor Patricia Lafreniere

Citizen Appointed by Council: Christine Reavie, 

Provincial Appointees: Malcolm Montgomery and Michael St Jean, Vice-Chair

Role of the detachment commander

Inspector Stephan Neufeld is the detachment commander for the Pembroke O.P.P. detachment. He is the key contact between the O.P.P., the board, and the City of Pembroke and provides information to the board for the board to carry out its duties. Inspector Neufeld is responsible for administering the police service and overseeing its operation in accordance with the objectives, priorities, and policies of the O.P.P., with adherence to local issues as brought forward by the board. 

Board members' code of conduct

Members of the City of Pembroke Police Services Board must comply with Ontario Regulation 421/97. The purpose of the code of conduct is to guide and encourage appropriate behaviour on the part of the board members.

Meetings

The Police Services Board meetings are generally held on a quarterly basis on the 4th Thursday of the month beginning at 4 p.m., and more frequently at the discretion of the chair. The meetings are held in council chambers at Pembroke City Hall.  The meeting schedule for 2022 was as follows:
