Grey Bruce OPP looking for auxiliary members

Are you thinking about joining the Ontario provincial Police (OPP)? Do you want to support your community? Are you retired and looking for a volunteer opportunity? If you answer yes to any of these questions, consider joining the Grey Bruce OPP Auxiliary Unit.

The OPP Auxiliary Unit is a group of dedicated volunteers who work with regular force OPP officers to ensure safety and well-being for the Province of Ontario. The Auxiliary is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and civilian or military occupations.

Auxiliary members assist OPP officers. Their duties may include patrols with regular members and assisting with community events, seat belt clinics, RIDE initiatives, safety displays, presentations, victim assistance and ceremonial duties. Members perform many duties outdoors, often in unfavourable weather conditions.

This is a volunteer position and is unpaid. All applicants must successfully complete an eight (8) day Auxiliary Recruit Training Course. As an auxiliary member, you must commit ten (10) hours on patrol, as well as six (6) hours in training per month.

OPP Auxiliary Member Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum 18 years of age

• Canadian citizen or permanent resident
• Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or its equivalent (i.e. grade 12 from any province of Canada). Candidates who do not have a grade 12 diploma but have completed a college diploma program or a university degree program will be considered as having a grade 12 diploma. Applicants educated outside Canada should refer to the Government of Canada - Education Assessment Resources
• Class 'G' driver's license with full driving privileges and no more than 6 demerit points
• No criminal record for which a records suspension (pardon) has not been received and be of good moral character and habits

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
