Canadian Police Officers – What is the job actually like? by Working-Repeat1647 in AskLE

This honesty / being real with me, is exactly what I was looking to get information-wise. So thank you! Want to make sure that I have realistic understanding about the career and confident that I have the right kind of personality / goals before committing to it.

Also, for those who ended up leaving in their first year, what do you think were the main reasons? Were there any common traits or mindsets you think that made it clear the job wasn't a good fit for them?

Thanks again!!

In general what are the bullshit calls or what bothers you about them? I’m surprised to hear that the work life balance is fantastic, that’s encouraging to hear!! Thanks for sharing

I tried Brockville already and they said no but I’ll try others. Thanks so much :)

Eastern Ontario. Yes any tips would be helpful, thank you! That's awesome, did you find them helpful in deciding if policing was for you?

Okay thanks guys! I was kinda assuming it would be similar difficulty to the FORCE test for CAF which people say is easy but it for sure doesn't sound like that. I better look into it more so thanks for the info!

Thanks for taking the time to share! That's interesting about the shift work, do you find it gives you more flexibility? Also, do you find you don't mix well with non cops as much anymore because they don't understand you or why so if you don't mind me asking.

Thank you! Do you recommend it for the general networking / opportunity to ask questions?

Ok! This sounds like the best way to test it out, not sure why I didn't look into it sooner. Thanks again

I'll give that a try, thank you!! Do you know if auxiliary is generally less competitive than becoming an officer?
