Editor's Notes
- These are the minimum requirements to become a Police Officer **Read Slide**Question? “What is good moral character?” (get feedback from audience)(Following slide covers service core values)Other good attributes for a Police Officer: Education – college or university. It does not have to be police or law related. Take something you have a interest in and would do well at. You will learn time management, research skills, and gain life experience. Which is very valuable as a police officer.Languages – we work in a culturally diverse city and not everyone speaks English. It is very important that we have officers that can communicate with the community. Volunteer work- another way to gain life experience but also a great way to show you care about the community you live in.Work experience- do different jobs. It shows responsibility and again another way to gain life experience.What I mean by life experience is interacting with other people, talking with people, working with others toward a common goal, networking, problem solving, and learning.A Police Officer has to relate to many different types of people and empathize with their situations.It is important to have some life experiences that you can draw from when trying to help someone through a traumatic experience.We often deal with people in their darkest moments and they look to us for answers and help.
- The Cadet in Training has been hired by the service and is being paid to learn how to be a police officer. During this time you attend the Toronto Police College and the Ontario Police College. They attend the Ontario Police College for 12 weeks, in Aylmer Ontario with all other Ontario Police Services.Here the officer learns Provincial Laws, Federal Laws, Defensive Tactics, Police Vehicle Operations, Firearms, and other topics related to policing. The learning is both practical hands on and theory in the class room. There is a physical fitness element that every officer has to complete. While the officer is at Police College they are given a dorm room, they are fed three meals a day, and can participate in extracurricularactivities.Once the officer gets sworn in as a full fledged Police Officer and given a badge by the Chief the training continues.The new officer works with an experienced officer on the road for a period of time. They are expected to perform all the duties of any other police officer but they have the experienced officer with them to help guild them through the finer points of doing the job. They learn how to do traffic stops, reports, paper work, and how to make an arrest.Police officers will also take courses at the Toronto Police College on different topics of their own interests or courses they might require to apply to a specialized unit. Such as Traffic Generalist, General Investigators Course, Community Mobilization, Domestic Violence Investigator, Sexual Assault Investigator, Interview Course, Etc.Every police officer has to do mandatory annual training. **Next slide**

- There are many different types of police officers within the police service. They have different jobs, duties, roles, and ranks.Every police officer starts in the Primary Response Unit also known as the “PRU”This unit makes up the greatest number of officers within the service.They are the officers that are in uniform everyday, driving around the city in marked police cars.These are the officers that people see when they call the police.Uniform OfficersShift WorkGeneral PatrolAnswer Calls for ServiceEmergency ResponseOther UnitsOrganizations
- The Officer must be “Fit for Duty” which means he or she has all their equipment such as radio, hand cuffs, gun, ammunition, baton, and OC spray.They are in good health. Not sick, tired, or injured.They are clean cut and shaven. Men and women have to adhere to certain rules on the length of hair and facial hair.Their uniform is clean and neat. They should also be wearing the appropriate parts of their uniform depending on the weather. For example winter coats, rain coats, boots, and hats.
- 911 is an emergency call.These calls can range from false alarms or crank calls to very serious but no matter what, the officer has to respond as quickly as possible. This is when the officer will drive using lights and sirens. The officer has to get to the scene as quickly and as safely as possible. The lights and sirens alert other drivers and pedestrians that they are coming and they need to clear the way.Some examples of Emergency calls are:Medical complaints, these are often a tiered response because police, fire and ambulance will be dispatch to attend. Whoever arrives first will advise on the nature of the call and what is required. Police are trained in first aid and CPR so if they arrive first they might have to perform first aid or CPR or even deliver a baby on the side of the road. Accidents such as motor vehicle collisions or an industrial accident where someone could be seriously injured. Police will be required to perform first aid, protect the scene, conduct an investigation, do a report, and possibly charge someone with an offence.There are many reasons why people call 911 but usually when serious acts of violence are being committed someone will call 911. Some example are domestic assaults, stabbings, shootings, sounds of gun shots, and sexual assault.
- No matter what the nature of the call or the way in which the officer makes contact with members of the community they will always engage in an investigation.The officer gathers information such as facts, evidence, and statements to come up with some type of result.The results can be a simple note made in the officers memo book, a report, a ticket, or an arrest.
- An arrest means the act of restraining the liberty of a person with the intent to detain.The officer will make an arrest once he or she has formed reasonable grounds a criminal offence has been committed or is about to be committed, or the officer finds the person committing a criminal offence, or on reasonable grounds, the officer believes the person is wanted, or the person has contravened the terms of a criminal release, or is found committing or is believed on reasonable grounds is about to commit a breach of the peace.Reasonable Grounds means a set of facts or circumstances that would lead a person of ordinary care and judgment to have a strong belief beyond a mere suspicion.
- The Officer will conduct an investigation which will lead him to develop the Reasonable Grounds to make an arrest.Then the officer will have to decide if continued detention is necessary or the arrested person can be released.
- There are several ways the officer can release the arrested person.Unconditionally A person under arrest shall be released unconditionally when it is determined that charges will not be laid or laid a another time.Provincial Offences Notice – If the person has been arrested under the authority of a provincial statute the officer shall release the person as soon as practicable after service of a summons or Offence Notice. The offence notice will have a set fine for the particular charge or the summons will have a court date in which the person should attend Provincial Offences court to appear before a Justice of the Peace who will give the person the opportunity to have a trial or set a fine for the charge.Appearance Notice is the type of release a police officer can use when they have arrested someone on a criminal charge and they have no reason to hold them in custody. The arrested person is given dates in which to appear for photographs & finger prints, and for court. If they do not attend for those dates they can be charge with another set of charges. A Promise to Appear/Recognizance or Undertaking is used when the arrested person has been brought into the police station. The Officer in charge of the station can release the person from the station and place certain conditions on the release that the accused person has to agree to in order to be released as well as promise to appear for photographs & finger prints, and for a court date. A Show Cause is a way in which the police attempt to keep the arrested person in jail. The arrested person is held in custody until they can attend court and go before a judge. The police have to make a case on why the person should be held in jail. It will be up to the judge on whether they are release or if they are held in custody until the trial or the charge can be dealt with.
- Every day Police officers sustain injuries while doing their jobs. They are often placed in potentially dangerous situations. They might have to arrest a Emotionally Disturbed Person who decides to put up a fight or make a vehicle stop on the side of the road or drive with lights an sirens on to respond to an emergency.Sometimes a Police Officer pays the ultimate sacrifice when he is killed in the line of duty. Being a Police Officer gives the officer a great deal of power but with that power comes a great deal of responsibility and risk.The number one goal of every police officer is to go home at the end of the day. Everyday is different, every call is different. No amount of training can prevent the unexpected, the unpredictable, and the unusual things that sometimes happen.Ask the Audience: What are risks that Police Officers face?**Death
