Hamilton Police Service encourages and seeks applications from experienced police officers to join our Service.
Recruiting Process:
If you are an officer serving in Ontario OR with the RCMP, and have completed your probationary period:
- Submit application (Cover letter & resume)
- Pre-Background Questionnaire
- Local Focus Interview (in-person and written component)
- Physical Readiness Evaluation Police test & shuttle run at Hamilton Police
- Behavioural/Essential Competency Interview
- Successful completion of Background Investigation
- Successful completion of Psychologist & Medical Evaluation
- Offer of Employment
If you are an officer serving outside Ontario serving with a municipal, regional or provincial police service outside of Ontario, and have completed your probationary period, the steps are the same as an officer serving in Ontario. After we review your application we may ask for more documents (Police diploma, transcripts from Police College, and at least one letter of reference from jurisdiction in which you serve. The reference letter should set out the nature of police experience). We will send these documents to Ontario Police College for review and evaluation. You will be required to pass a series of exams at the Ontario Police College to continue in the process as lateral hire.
Please note that some of the steps may occur out of order, but all are required to become a Police Constable with the Hamilton Police Service.
