TPSB meaning in Governmental ?

The Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) is the civilian police board that governs the Toronto Police Service. The role of police services boards is outlined in section 31 of the Ontario Police Services Act, and includes setting the annual police budget, defining objectives and policies for the police service, and selecting the chief of police. The board makes decisions governing the structure and environment of the police service, but the chief of police leads the day-to-day operation of the police – the board cannot direct members of the police other than the chief, who is responsible to the board as a whole.

Membership of the board includes the mayor of Toronto – presently John Tory – two city councillors, one municipal and three provincial civilian members.

The role of the board is administrative in nature and it does not investigate police conduct or complaints, as is the mandate of the Special Investigations Unit, Ontario Civilian Police Commission or Office of the Independent Police Review Director, which are oversight agencies.
