Today is a big step. This fitness test is part of the momentum created at our “What Is Possible at OPS” event at the Château Laurier, where so many of you came out to explore careers and opportunities within the Ottawa Police Service. For those running today, this is more than a fitness test. It represents discipline, commitment, and the courage to step forward toward a career in policing. Reaching Level 7 is the standard but showing up today already says a lot about who you are and the path you're choosing. Remember... Stay focused. Control your breathing. Dig deep once you hit level 5, it is all a mental game at this point... The recruiting team is cheering you on. Good luck today and we look forward to seeing many of you take the next step in the process. Take a moment and comment below to wish everyone luck!!!! 🎉
