BECOME A POLICE CONSTABLE | Timmins Police Service

START THE BALL ROLLING

The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police has launched a new standardized hiring process which is in effect as of January 1st,2020.

This will streamline the process and pose less of a financial burden on prospective applicants who are considering a career in policing.

No doubt, officers and civilian TPS staff alike are questioned, on occasion, about the hiring requirements and the nature of the hiring process for the position of “Constable”

Attached is the OACP link with valuable “need to know” documents that can act as a reference and guide.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

After an application is received by the Timmins Police Service, you may be called for an interview. The interview will take place with a panel of several officers.

Once you’ve successfully completed the interview portion, an in-depth background check and a psychological evaluation will be completed. If all components are successfully completed, the candidate will receive an offer of employment conditional on the successful completion of a medical evaluation.

Before beginning work as a Timmins Police Officer, cadets will attend the Ontario Police College for 12 weeks of training. Once back in Timmins, newly appointed constables will then be placed with a Coach Officer for several weeks in order to gain experience and additional training.
