O.P.P. Civilian Employment

For those who are interested in working for one of the largest deployed police services in North America, the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) commits to creating and sustaining a positive working environment in which all employees have equal opportunity to fulfill their potential within their profession.

Civilian positions in the O.P.P. are advertised as either "open" or "restricted".

If a position is advertised as "open", any qualified person may apply, including the public. Positions that are open to the public are advertised in the Ontario Government publications "Topical" and "Job Mart" which can be accessed at Human Resources Development Canada (Canada Employment Centres), Provincial Government human resources offices, or any O.P.P. Detachment/office.
