I assure you there will be fitness standards at the OPP academy.

Napanee is quite busy and there is vacancies there. Frontenac isn't as busy, but I think they have vacancies too. Odessa almost always has a waiting list, but I'm not sure about current vacancies. Odessa is attached to Napanee (Napanee being host detachment to Odessa and Kaladar). If you go as far ...

I have a question for everyone. I'm in the process of selecting my preferred detachments. I'm wondering if anyone has any resources other than the action plans on the OPP website? For instance, I want to figure out which detachments are the largest/busiest, in terms of constables on the roads, char...

Deception is a not a mistake.

If your first instinct is to LIE on an application, this career isn't for you.

I am shaking my head at people encouraging you. Clearly they're not on the job, or they wouldn't be giving you any sort of advice other than to change your career goals.

If you're not interested in committing yourself to wherever you're posted, I don't really think policing is for you.

Consider other Federal Govt jobs. That may be more suitable for your goals.

Wheels should not reveal what the questions are. Nor should you be asking.

A variety of backgrounds is most welcome and useful. Myself and many of my colleagues are in our second career.

I'm sure this doesn't go for the OPP but for all services.

Any tips in general on what to expect and how will I prepare best in the OPP interview?

Make sure that you interview using red font only.
