Rosita Tse appointed to Waterloo Regional Police Services Board

Waterloo Region – Regional Council has appointed Rosita Tse of Cambridge to the Waterloo Regional Police Services Board (WRPSB) for the balance of the 2014 – 2018 Term of Council to fill the position left vacant due to the resignation of Jim Wideman from the Board earlier this year. Ms. Tse has served professionally at the City of Cambridge and as Chief Financial Officer at the Township of Wilmot prior to her retirement this month. She is a certified management accountant and also serves on the Board of Governors at Renison University College.

The Police Services Board is a civilian oversight body that governs how police services are provided. Under the provisions of the Ontario Police Services Act, the Board is comprised of three elected members from Regional Council, three provincially-appointed members and one community-at-large member, appointed by Regional Council. The Police Board meets regularly with the Chief of Police and the Deputy Chiefs of Police to determine the current and future direction of policing in Waterloo Region in terms of law enforcement, crime prevention and the police budget.
