What does OPB mean in State & Local?

Ontario Parole Board

The Ontario Parole Board is an independent quasi-judicial administrative tribunal that has the sole authority in Ontario to grant, deny, cancel, terminate or revoke parole and to grant, deny or cancel temporary absence passes of over 72 hours in duration for offenders serving provincial sentences. The Board derives its authority from the federal Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the federal Prison and Reformatories Act and the Ontario Ministry of Correctional Services Act and Regulations. The operation of the Board is also directed by a variety of provincial and federal statutes. The guiding principle underlying all conditional release decision-making is the protection of society. http://www.slasto.gov.on.ca/en/OPB/Pages/default.aspx
