Hi there,

I am just about to prepare my application for an open position as Offender Transportation Officer for the OPP.
Does anyone has any input on this? What to look for, what to prepare for,...

Thanks! I was never gone....... just stay in the background while I am not active in the hiring process.......
Building a resumee and preparing for the next application takes time - years if you...

Hi!

I did the test in November last year. I did not prepare a lot, there are books out there to study. All I did - I went through one of the books to get familiar with some words and terms - that...

Hi there!

Well, my deferral took me in the security-business to build my resume. I am now for one year in that business, working as a Loss Prevention officer in a 4-star resort, operated by one of...

Thanks! Now I'm torn!

On the one side - a book always sold out - should be a good one on ebay. It's just the way you write the posting "winners-edition, passed at first attempt after learning with...

Well, a security guard is at least closer to policing then - let's say - a carpenter.

Working shifts, writing a log about every singe thing you do, writing reports, pay attention to details,...

drew,

I am in the exact same situation. Got my deferral in September last year.
It is frustrating when someone tells you "hey, the last 20 years of your life were kind of wasted when you want to...

Took about 3-4 weeks to get this letter. But - do not expect a lot of information, they always leave it up to you to find out.

"self-assessment" is the keyword.

Update:

Security guard, Hotel Security

(still 41 year old male immigrant from Germany) :D


Jan

That is right, NO feedback - in the beginning. They point out that they want you to assess yourself! That's why they don't put in that deferral letter what they didn't like about you.

But - if you...

I just know that "Brinks" requires it in the application.
Not sure about the others.

Here is my story:

As known here in the forum I got a deferral for a year from 2 services. (OPP and Barrie). Advice from both: Work on your resume, do something job related, come back in a year.
...

Full class again, or is it slowing down?


Jan

No, it's the weather!

After being snowed in for 5 month, people discovered their backyard again and - actually leave the house! Outside!!! And as long there is no Iphone-application for this forum...

OK, after I got two mails it's maybe time to clarify something:

There is very useful tutoring offered by some users here in this forum !


There is (as much as I know) only one user, showing up...

lol

Worried about making it through the process?

I guarantee your success! I will prepare you for PATI/WCT/BPAD and PREP, will even write the tests or do the PREP for you if you have no time on that...

Thanks for the numbers guys (numbers in pool, numbers of intakes). I will re-apply in September, things should be back on track when I will be joining the pool then.

Well, who knows, there might...

OK, let me think about that........

My plan is to go online and fool around in a forum. I think I am smart and can trick a bunch of internet-users - no problem!

There are about 24.550.000...

Well Manny, I am not a lawyer, but that is thin ice you are walking on......

What if someone fails the WCT after learning with you? You guaranteed it! Could turn out in an interesting...

Not sure where you are going here........

Both answers are right, if you divide 59 inches by 12 (inches per feet), you will get 4.91. And - 59 inches are 4 feet (48 inches) and 11 inches.

The...

Thanks guys! My wife wants me to take that "cooking for stay home dads"-course, not the perfect one either......... :D

Jan

I have just checked into that "Police Sciences (Law Enforcement and Protection)"-program from ICS. Anyone an opinion to that course?


Jan

Same with me, long answers result in a "debug mode", just can't post stuff like that. Many looooong postings got lost like that, just don't have the nerves to write all that stuff again the next day....

Went to the annual job fair in Orillia yesterday, the number of companies hiring is growing, but - for the first time in years - the OPP was not there.

I am taking a detour anyways right now, but...
