OPS-BecomeaPoliceOfficer

Honour. Courage. Service.

Policing is not just a career choice - it’s a calling.

If you act in moments of crisis and step forward to help others - you are right where you belong.

OPS officers work alongside the community to ensure public safety, prevent crime & build trust through meaningful relationships.

Policing is about people. It requires empathy, integrity, physical readiness, mental resilience, and a commitment to lifelong growth and accountability.

This community is a central hub for aspiring police officers to prepare for the application process.

Inside, you will:

✅ Gain insight into the OPS recruitment process
✅ Learn how to prepare for physical testing
✅ Understand what makes a strong candidate
✅ Connect with others on the same path

We are committed to building a police service that reflects the diversity of the City of Ottawa and welcome applicants from all backgrounds who feel called to serve with integrity and purpose.

Your policing journey starts here.
