The Ottawa Police Service is dedicated to:
- the safety and security of our community;
- working cooperatively with the members of our community; and
- supporting our members personally and professionally.
Since its creation in 1995, the Ottawa Police Service has dedicated
itself to providing excellent service. More than1, 800 officers
and civilians respond to an average of 341,625 calls every year.
OPS provide services to a city that is more than 2,700 hectares
in area and comprised of significant variations in urban, rural
and suburban needs. The city has three divisions, made up of six
police districts where officers are assigned to respond to police
emergencies and work with residents to solve community problems.
The OPS is a vibrant organization that has been growing steadily
by an average of 45 employees per year since 2003. The 2008 operating
budget is $220 million, not including the 10 year capital forecast
of $187 million. The size of the annual operating budget has increased
steadily, paralleling the growth in employees. The capital budget
has increased significantly in recent years to support key initiatives
such as the construction of new police facilities and the replacement
of fleet assets and technology infrastructure.
Emergency service providers operate in a very challenging environment
characterized by 7-x-24 shifts, daily critical events, significant
political and media attention and un-predictable resource demands.
It is a highly unionized environment that is governed by rigorous
standards and training requirements. Supporting this environment
so that it can operate seamlessly is a challenging job. The Service
has gained a reputation for being an industry leader both in terms
of its operational methods and its business practices. It has won
many prestigious national and international awards for its innovative
work.
It is the stated goal of the Ottawa Police Service to become an
employer of choice for all policing in Canada. To maintain our tradition
of excellence, we seek to hire people representative of the diversity
of our community – the Ottawa Police Service is an equal opportunity
employer that aims to reflect the diversity and linguistic composition
of the community we serve.
