	Northern Ireland Policing Board - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Northern Ireland Policing Board is the Police Authority for Northern Ireland, charged with supervising the activities of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
		It is composed of members of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and independent members, all of whom are chosen by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.
		Although it is entitled to nominate members, the board is being boycotted by the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland, Sinn Féin, as all of the recommendations of the Patten Commission have not yet been implemented.

		However, the other major nationalist party in the north, the SDLP, has joined the Policing Board and says that it is satisfied that the Patten recommendations are being implemented.
		Cramphorn was formerly Flanagan's deputy, and with Flanagan's resignation Cramphorn acted as Chief Constable while the Policing Board sought a permanent replacement.

	Northern Ireland Policing Exchange Program - Boston College
		Reform of policing is central to the 1998 Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement and in the past five years, Northern Ireland has taken huge strides towards the creation of a police service that is more representative of the communities it serves, and that meets community and societal needs in a responsive and impartial manner.
		The program was designed to give participants an opportunity to examine Boston’s experience of community policing through a series of presentations and dialogues with police and public safety officials, community representatives and activists, members of the clergy, and researchers of policing in the academe.
		Follow-up programming will take place in Northern Ireland to continue the discussions begun in Boston around how US models of policing may be appropriate for Northern Ireland, and how collaboration between all parties who support reform can be maximized for the benefit of the wider community.
