The British Columbia Association of Police Boards (BCAPB) is the province’s hub of governance support and advocacy for BC’s provincial police boards. It comprises representatives from its member police boards and works in close partnership with other agencies related to policing and police governance, as well as BC’s Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.

BCAPB offers its members the advantage of a collective voice to support municipal police boards fulfil their mandate as prescribed by BC’s Police Act. Complementing this value proposition, BCAPB provides its partners a platform to reach its membership for consultation and collaboration on matters related to public safety.
