KAWARTHA LAKES-Have you thought about becoming a police officer? Are you passionate about making a difference? On October 1, 2022, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be hosting Provincial Recruitment Day across the province.
 This year’s Provincial Recruitment Day’s theme is “A Day in the Life” and will showcase many of the career opportunities that empower our members to make a difference each day. With hundreds of members eligible for retirement over the next few years, there has never been a better time to apply to the OPP. Whether you are interested in becoming a police officer, auxiliary member (volunteer) or working in a civilian role, the OPP has a job opportunity for you.
Officials say while post-secondary education/experience in law or security is not required, any post-secondary is considered an asset. The OPP assesses applicants based on a positive background, maturity, effective interpersonal and communication skills, ability to balance finances and other responsibilities, and those who respect and support inclusiveness and diversity.
“At the City of Kawartha Lakes (CKL) Detachment we welcome you to join us to meet some of our Officers and Auxiliary Volunteers, along with other specialty units, such as our Canine Unit and Emergency Response Team (ERT). This will be a great opportunity to speak with our officers one on one and ask any questions you might have about opportunities within the OPP. We will also have some of our vehicles on display, such as cruisers and ATV’s.” said Cst. Laura Newberry in a press release.Â
 The event will be open October 1, 2022 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm and will be located at:
The City of Kawartha Lakes Detachment:
3028 Highway 35
Lindsay, ON
K9V 4R1
