Civilians provide clerical support to divisions within the Police Service such as Emergency 911, Data Entry Unit, CPIC/Charge Processing, Information Services, Technology Services, Patrol Services, Investigation Services, Human Resources, Financial Services, Planning & Physical Resources and Operational Support.

These positions can range from entry level to requiring specific clerical, technical or analytical skills.

If we are unable to find the ideal candidate for a vacancy through our internal job posting process, we will recruit externally.  Our selection process involves each of the following steps:

 

  • Conducting a search for candidates through various recruitment efforts including but not excluded to postings on our website, local newspapers, Facebook and Twitter
  • Screening applicants to ensure the minimum requirements are met
  • Administering tests for applicants, which range from written and practical tests such as general English proficiency and keyboarding and CritiCall testing for all Communications positions
  • Holding in-depth structured interviews based upon the essential competencies identified for the position
  • Conducting a background investigation which includes thorough records checks for criminal history, reference checks and a home visit
  • Psychological testing and assessment required for many civilian positions within the service
  • Pre-employment medical testing
  • Offering employment to the successful candidate
