    May I add that good nerves are a must. I tried out to be a Police Officer with Peel Regional Police back in 1983. We had to do a time-limited questionnaire about different scenarios. They used an old-school windup clock to keep time, and when that thing rang, I screamed, lol. At that moment, I knew I was not Police material. I just admire the Police from the sidelines.
    I laughed at your story about your home visit! My brother was into motorcycles, and the noise and fumes were very familiar to me.
    You can't leave us hanging without telling us about your physical. :)

    Honestly I have no chance for a career in this path but I salute and respect people who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting the innocent even if that means sometimes there will be slipups because we're all human and we all make mistakes I still respect the Toronto police and Ontario provincial police you need a sound mind you need stability and sobriety and the judgement and discernment, insight and wisdom required and lots of training. It's a tough process so guys good luck.

    Thank you, Mr. Randy, for another informative video.
    Honestly, when I took my first step into policing, no one could explain what to do first. I searched, but I didn’t find proper guidelines. Maybe I didn’t search well. The first-ever step must be to pass a fitness test.
    I like Toronto Police and Ottawa Police's approach to the career. With RCMP and OPP applications, they ask for eye and hearing exams first. If you fail, you will have to retake those exams the next year. They don’t accept tests that are a year old. If you have coverage for that, that’s good. If you don’t, you waste your money for nothing. Also, Toronto Police only asks for the shuttle run, not the other things required by the PREP exam.
    I am the most stubborn person ever. After my incidents during my running, I decided to take time to pursue my dream job. Now I know what to start first.
    We can’t just put the roof without concrete or without walls. First, we must lay the foundation with concrete cement, then build the walls, and only then add the roof. We can’t just jump to the 10th floor and continue to go up. We should start step by step.

    Hey Randall. My Dad did a lot of recruiting for the Brantford police service and he told me once that they get stacks of resumes and he always looked for volunteers who contributed to the community by volunteer work. Just one spelling error and the resume was instantly thrown out. Volenteer at food banks or thle salvation army and things of that sort always catches attention 😊😊

    Great video, I appreciate the in depth explanation! I’m a forensics science student studying at Trent university and am strongly considering joining the police force as a career path. I just want to make sure I have everything down. After completing the OACP, are the following steps conditional to one another? In other words do you have to pass one step to get to the other, or can they be done at the same time, for example do you absolutely have to pass the physical before taking the vision test? I’m mainly asking because I do not have 20/40 vison uncorrected, which is what is asked. But getting lasik might not be worth it if I don’t manage to pass prior steps of the application. Thanks again.

    • @OfficerArsenault
      @OfficerArsenault  Місяць тому

      Yes the process can be confusing. Just FYI, most police services require the OACP certificate but not all, such as the OPP for example. Best to check the website if the service you’re interested in for specifics, and good luck to you!

Anyways, ive known cops from hamilton to peel, toronto, opp , I never tire of watch police videos, one of my favourites is 10-7 for life about toronto cop Carol Banks , super interesting I think she quit eventually, another good video what canadian mounties go through, it's starts as Lady officer / supervisor at academy says to new recruit "in what year did we become royal canadian mountied police? He says 1920 low voice , she say that's as loud as you can be? He repeats slightly higher, she says my goodness God forbid the day you have to yell stop police drop the knife because they're coming at you with an edged weapon, there's no whispering, there's no room for meek and mild in this job
