The City of Ottawa is extending the application deadline for citizen appointee positions on the Ottawa Police Services Board.
The city says it will accept applications until Friday, Feb. 2 at 4:30 p.m., two weeks after the initial deadline.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old and residents of Ottawa, and they must not be employed by the city.
The police oversight board includes city councillors and appointees by both Ottawa city council and the provincial government. Council members and citizens are appointed for the duration of council’s term, the police board website says, while provincial appointees serve three-year terms. The board appoints its chairperson at the first meeting of each year.
The police board is currently in the middle of a shakeup following the abrupt resignation of former chair Dr. Gail Beck. She stepped down in December after her adult son, Timon Beck, was arrested in one of the largest drug busts in Ottawa history.
Vice-chair Salim Fakirani has held the role of acting chair of the board since then, but a new chair and vice-chair are to be elected at a meeting on Monday.
