Canadian Police Recruitment

Post by Smooke »

hey all,

I just got back from Toronto yesterday. That's why I haven't been posting.

I actually went to Toronto to finish up police testing for the OACP COR Certificate. That is the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, Certificate of Results. In order to apply to any police service in Ontario, excluding Peel Region (they have their own testing), oneself needs the certificate of results.

OPP and ATS (Applicant testing services) http://www.applicanttesting.com are the only agencies in Ontario that do the testing. So the info is there for anyone interested in doing Police work.

In order to achieve the COR you need to complete the PATI (police analytical thinking inventory), WCT (written communication test), PREP (physical readiness evaluation for police) and BPAD (behavioural personnel assessment device)then vision and hearing.

I went up to Toronto on the weekend to re-certify my PREP and to re-test my BPAD component which I failed 6 months ago. I passed my vision and hearing but failed the bpad back then due to jumping to a conclusion in one of the scenario's. The bpad measures one ability to solve problems that police are thrown into everyday. Also it measures your interpersonal skills. You view 8 scenario's and they record what you say in each scenario. It's pretty cool!!

I passed the physical component. It was a JOKE!!!

but this time I think I passed the BPAD since I had the exact same scenario's as before. So I'll keep you all updated, as i will know my results sometime in the New Year!!!

Now who else's dream is it to become a Police Constable in Canada?!

DISCUSS! :nod:

Congrats Smooke :D Good for you!!

I never wanted to be a cop. I had a brother who was in trouble with the law EVERY DAY... which meant that every night during dinner there was a loud knock on the door. It was always a cop to explain to my parents what my brother had done that day. As a result, we never had an uninterrupted meal and I started getting heartburn at a young age.

It'll happen don't worry. I've been pulling for you for way too long. You should apply for Peel!!! That way you can keep me in line via police brutality. Good luck dude, I can't believe we didn't get to hang out.

Yay Smooke. There are way too many acronyms in your post though :O
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I trust them mostly. I don't like them though. Well, the RCMP are alright, but I don't trust like.. municipal forces. They have little to no accountability for their actions really. I'm not a fan of cops just because I feel very guilty while near them, even when i've done nothing wrong :lol:

Smooke, you're gonna be my first cop I ever liked.

:D

Peel is the WORST place to apply to. Never ever apply to Peel!! They are not a part of the Ontario Association of Chief's of Police. Every other police service, besides some aboriginal one's, are. So they suck!!!

That's awesome! Means alot!

If I can interact with a community as such here and build such a rapport with you guys, I believe that I can do the same with the community that I will be policing. I'm all about getting out there and wanting to get to know people. People rule!

SMOOKE <3's RAINE!!

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
