All Chiefs Memo – Ontario Police College, Seconded Officer Program
As many of you are aware, Ontario Police College has increased the number and size of recruit classes to support police services to fill their vacancies and increase staffing needs to provide adequate and effective policing across Ontario. For this endeavour to be successful, the College requires support from police services by providing seconded officers to enhance the full-time training staff.
This Seconded Officer Program is not only important to support the increased number of members going through Basic Constable Training Program, but it provides recruits the opportunity to learn from members that are currently working within communities across the province. This transfer of knowledge and experience is beneficial to the recruits’ understanding and applied learning.
This program provides a developmental opportunity for frontline and training officers to expand their knowledge and experiences while at the college. Knowledge and experience that each of the members brings back to their own police service.Services who provide a member to the program are reimbursed (details in the attached ACM).
For your situational awareness.
