Uber is taking safety seriously, as it should.

On Tuesday, the ride-hailing company announced the creation of a six-member safety advisory board, the Los Angeles Times is reporting.

The newspaper adds that the board consists of everyone from former Boston police commissioner Ed Davis, ex-deputy executive director of the Texas Department of Transportation, John Barton, and Cindy Southworth, National Network to End Domestic Violence executive vice president.

As part of the announcement, the company also named its first chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, who joined Uber in March. Before joining Uber, Sullivan worked for Facebook and eBay under similar security roles.

All six members of the newly created board will be counted on to secure and advance the safety of drivers and passengers in addition to bolstering data security and the service's relationships with local authorities.

"Throughout my careers as I've focused on tech security and safety, one of the things I've always known is you can't do it alone, especially with emerging tech and the evolution of products going so quickly," Sullivan told the LA Times. "You always need to look at it from a lot of different perspectives. [For example], John Barton is going to give me a perspective on highway safety that I don't have. Cindy is going to give me a perspective on sexual assault [that I don't have]."

As Uber continues to explode in popularity, the company faces extensive security concerns, ranging from driver background checks to various city compliance issues and even a digital security breach that may have affected 50,000 Uber drivers in California this past February.
