Are you passionate about making a difference and helping build safer communities within Ontario? In support of the OPP Provincial Recruitment Day taking place across the province, the Sault Ste Marie OPP Detachment will be hosting a drop-in event on Sept. 30, 2022. 

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.

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 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and will be located at 742 Great Northern Rd., Sault Ste Marie, Ont.
