OPP Update

For those of you who have been bugging me wanting to know what’s going on with my application with the Ontario Provincial Police I finally have some information for you! 

I called uniform recruitment last night and left a message inquiring about the status of the September class and my chances of getting in. I as well decided after receiving some helpful information from a Staff Sgt. I know that I would again inform recruitment that I am indeed willing to take any posting they want to throw at me since I have absolutely nothing holding me to one particular area.

I received a call today from uniform recruitment informing me that the September class is now full so I won’t be getting a call for this intake but “as long as your file stays in good standing things are looking very good for January”. 

This is good news! Now I can get a few more Athabasca courses under my belt and let CTC pick up the bill and I’m not in the dark as much as I was before with this hiring process.

Fingers crossed and time to play the waiting game again.

Quick side note for those sending text messages to my cell from my blog. Please if you want me to respond mention who is sending the text, if you don’t tell me who you are I have no way of knowing who sent the message.

So today was the day of the home visit portion of the OPP hiring process. I must say it went very smoothly! Pretty much just a review of my paper application and a few follow up questions. Looks like I’m moving onto final review now. . . fingers crossed for Sept. OPC.

So I thought I’d post the OPP Recruitment Process- Flow Chart that has been hanging on my wall since I entered into the hiring process. This should help everyone follow my current status in the hiring process.

So it’s been one heck or a roller coaster ride the last few months but I’ve survived!
I’ve now moved into background with the Ontario Provincial Police. This is the final stage in the hiring process before my application is sent off for final review.

I received a call May 25th from the background investigator, she wanted to review a few things and then told me she will be starting the background check May 28.

Besides that not much else is new, still working at Canadian Tire Supply Chain, protecting corporate assets.

O.P.P. Bound. . .

So I’m actually doing it. . .
I started my application to the Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) today.
I cant believe that I’m at this stage already, it feels like just yesterday I was back in high school talking about Policing as a career and having all the teachers say maybe I should look into another career option. Got to love the feeling of going into the guidance counselors office to get guidance on college choices and having them chuckle and say “Police Foundations, are you serious?” GUESS WHAT, I DID IT. That’s right I’m almost done the course here at Fleming, I’ve kept a 75% - 80% average all the way through and now I’m applying to the O.P.P.

Just for the record Dad its NOT Ontario Potato Pickers, although I’ll gladly help you pick potatoes from your garden later in the future.

So yeah that’s my little rant, my C.O.R. (Certificate of Results) application will be in the mail tomorrow with a $299.60 cheque to pay for the first round of constable tests.

LET THE FUN BEGIN!!
