Thank you for joining us last night at the Château Laurier! We were proud to welcome so many individuals exploring what’s possible at the Ottawa Police Service. From civilian roles to communications, special constables, and policing pathways - the evening was about opening doors and starting conversations. Now we have one question for you: What was the number one thing you learned? Was it something about the application process? A conversation with a unit member? The 30 Forward Initiative? A pathway you hadn’t considered before? We would genuinely value your response. Simply reply in the comments and share your biggest takeaway. For those interested in becoming a police officer, and you are ready to move forward with the fitness test, remember: 👉 Send Cst. Abid Nasim an email at: nasima@ottawapolice.ca to secure your spot for March 7 shuttle run. You will receive an email with your timing, location and waivers. This is not a practice session - it is for those ready to apply. Thank you again for taking the time to invest in your future!
