Thirty-seven new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers are joining our communities in Central Region following completion of their training at the Ontario Police College in Aylmer, and the Ontario Provincial Police Academy in Orillia.
The 37 officers are part of Class 490 that officially graduated today. Policing in Ontario is about working with community partners and stakeholders to ensure public safety through a collaborative effort of crime prevention and law enforcement. These officers bring with them diverse life and work experiences that will greatly benefit their communities.
The new Provincial Constables have been deployed to the following detachments:
- Caledon – 7 officers
- City of Kawartha Lakes – 3 officers
- Collingwood – 3 officers
- Dufferin – 9 officers
- Haliburton Highlands – 4 officers
- Huntsville – 2 officers
- Huronia West – 1 officers
- Northumberland – 6 officers

“Community policing is at the core of the OPP. Officers work and live in the communities they serve, and develop meaningful relationships with local residents and community partners. I am pleased to welcome these new recruits who will continue to enhance the safety of our communities in the years to come. Best of luck to our newest officers as they start their rewarding careers and serve with pride, professionalism and honour.”
– Chief Superintendent Dwight Peer, Central Region, Ontario Provincial Police
The OPP actively recruits and interviews potential candidates throughout the year. Upon successful completion of the Recruitment Process, each Provincial Constable recruit must successfully complete the required training programs at both the Provincial Police Academy and the Ontario Police College.
