Police Cadet Recruiting Information

The London Police Service is proud to provide the opportunity for applicants to compete for employment as a cadet.  The cadet program is a two year contract position.  Successful candidates gain valuable experience and knowledge during their apprenticeship.  We currently employ 22 cadets.

To be eligible to become a cadet, you must:

• Meet the minimum requirements as stated in Ontario's Police Services Act;
• Possess a valid G class driver's license with no more than six accumulated demerit points; and
• Successfully complete cadet testing.

Cadet duties consist of:

• Maintenance of the Headquarters Detention Unit;
• Confidential file management and courier service;
• Security duties at the Provincial Court House; and
• Other duties as assigned.

Cadets are paid employees of the London Police Service and are eligible to collect comprehensive benefits.  Requirements of the program are:

• Completion of the Applicant Testing Services (ATS) Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) certificate prior to being considered for a cadet recruit position;
• Achievement of a passing standard on the Ontario Police Fitness Awards Program "PIN" Test during each of the two years of employment as a cadet; and
• Maintenance of a suitable work performance during the duration of the cadet contract with the London Police Service.

Police cadets who meet the requirements of their contracts may be selected to attend the Ontario Police College (OPC) where they will train to begin their careers as police constables.

Submit your application to be considered for the next cadet testing date!

Candidates without a valid OACP certificate are required to write an Aptitude test and pass the "PIN" test.  Those with the OACP certificate will only be required to complete the "PIN" test.
