The Torrance Police Department has long benefited from the relationship with our community. The Chief's Advisory Board (CAB) will provide a forum where key stakeholders can act as a community resource for the Chief of Police in the development of strategies, sharing community concerns, and increasing public trust.

The Chief's Advisory Board will be established and maintained under the direction of the Chief of Police. The board will be comprised of a diverse group of people that is reflective of our city with various backgrounds in business, education, non-profit organizations, public relations, the faith-based community, and others.

Purpose and Role

The purpose and role of the Chief's Advisory Board will be as follows:

• Act as an advisory group for the Chief of Police regarding community needs and concerns as well as a community response to proposed police programs and priorities.
• Apprise the Chief of Police directly of the community's needs for police services.
• Assist in educating the community at large about the function and role of the Torrance Police Department.
• To promote community awareness, understanding, and involvement between the Torrance Police Department and the citizens of Torrance.

The Chief's Advisory Board consists of twelve members. These members represent our diverse community and have different backgrounds and experiences with the business community, education, faith-based community, non-profit organizations, public relations, and other areas that make them a key component of the Torrance community.
