BCACP Committee Portal

Our committees provide the structure through which members contribute expertise and leadership on key issues affecting policing and public safety across British Columbia.

The Committee Portal supports this work by creating a common point of reference for committee activity, reporting and key materials, supporting continuity, coordination and effective governance.
