Barry Hearn has appointed former Metropolitan police detective chief superintendent David Douglas to the board of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).
New WPBSA chairman Hearn said Douglas would focus on "disciplinary matters" following several allegations of betting irregularities.
Douglas, who retired from the police in 2007, holds a senior role in darts regulation. Hearn said: "David's primary responsibility as a director of the WPBSA will be centred on disciplinary matters, aimed at maintaining the integrity of the game necessary in today's sporting market.
"Having worked with David as chairman of the Darts Regulation Authority, I admire his no-nonsense approach where he has brought a new level of credibility and one that will be very valuable to the ongoing success of the sport of snooker. David's appointment will be ratified at the next board meeting and I see him as a major part of the new world of snooker going forward."
