Essex County OPP holding recruitment day at Tecumseh detachment
Essex County OPP are hosting a recruitment day in Tecumseh.
This year's Provincial Recruitment Day's theme on Oct. 1 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,” said a news release from 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.”
OPP 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.
The event will be open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Oct. 1 and will be located at:
Tecumseh O.P.P. Detachment
