In 2 days, we’re hosting a special Women’s Only Fireside Chat with women of the Ottawa Police Service in Honor of International Women’s Day. This is not a presentation. This is not a lecture. This is an intimate room with women of OPS where you can ask the real questions about what it’s actually like to serve as a police officer. 📅 March 6th 🚪 Doors Open: 6:30 PM 🕖 Event: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM 📍 Ottawa Police Association - 141 Catherine Street, Suite 200 🚗 Free parking across the street Inside the room we’ll be talking about: • What it’s really like to be a woman in policing • Career paths in the Ottawa Police Service • Leadership, resilience & growth • Balancing policing and family life • What it takes to succeed in the profession And yes...you can ask anything. 🎁 We also have amazing door prizes, including one of the OPS “30 Forward” Challenge Coins. Only 100 coins exist. This rare collector’s piece marks the 30 Forward initiative and is something very special tied to this moment in OPS history. 📢 Only 130 seats exist for this event. Once the room fills, registration closes. If you’ve been thinking about coming…If you’ve been meaning to register… This is your moment. 👉 Grab your seat here: Fireside Chat Event This is going to be a powerful evening of real conversation, mentorship, and inspiration.

If you can hit level 7 in the shuttle run and are ready to apply to the Ottawa Police Service, make sure to let us know today by 3pm as emails are going out with people's timings for this Saturday! DM me @Sgt. Jennifer Richardson Recruiting- Ottawa Police Service if you want to run Saturday and hit yes in the survey at this link: SHUTTLE RUN If you are not ready, don't worry we will hold more shuttle run dates in the near future and will announce them here in this community!

Good day folks! Super excited for tonight's Online Information Session! 🎉 For those that think they can hit level 7 in the Shuttle run, we are running a shuttle run this Saturday! Please let me know by completing this survey below. Timings will be provided for the shuttle run in a separate individual email. Please complete survey below and send me a personal DM @Sgt. Jennifer Richardson Recruiting- Ottawa Police Service with your email address. 👉 You do not need your PREP certificate to apply! You need level 7 of the shuttle run, so pass this Saturday and you can apply on the spot! (We are currently accepting the shuttle run with successful completion of level 7 as the current fitness requirement in our application process, that said, you will still need to pass the full PREP test at the Ontario Police College to graduate from the College.This current fitness requirement is a pilot, studies have shown that if you are able to pass level 7 in the shuttle run, you should be physically able to pass the circuit portion of the PREP Test. So the short answer is get your level 7 shuttle run completed by a properly trained facilitator, you can apply to OPS but with the mindset that you should be training to be successful in the PREP Test.)
