EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: POLICE CONSTABLES (RECRUIT)
We are currently accepting applications for police constables (recruit).
The process to obtain a Certificate of Results has changed as of January 1, 2020. One of the following options is required to pass this stage of the journey:
1) OACP Certificate of Results – If you do not have a Certificate of Results and the two scenarios below do not apply to you, then proceed to the OACP website to obtain your Certificate of Results.
2) ATS-OACP Certificate of Results – An ATS issued Certificate of Results that has been valid in the previous 365 days at the time of application will be considered a valid certificate and you can proceed to the application stage.
3) Partial OACP Certificate – If you have successfully completed a part of the ATS-OACP certificate and have documentation that they are currently valid at the time of application then you can proceed to application. However, if you are missing one or the other component from the ATS-OACP certificate you MUST follow the direction outlined in the OACP Equivalency Guide. That will include providing validation that you meet the Provincial Vision and Hearing Standards before our background stage.
