The Saint John Board of Police Commissioners is responsible, under the Police Act, to provide and maintain an adequate police force, and to advise Common Council accordingly—so the City of Saint John can allocate the necessary funding for the operation of the Saint John Police Force. As the governance authority for the Police Force, the board also establishes a vision and actionable objectives for the community, provides oversight, and ensures accountability in the application of Police resources.
