Candidate Preparation List
Before you submit an application, please read, review & be able to present knowledge on the topics listed.
The Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Directory provides information on the names of the NAN communities.
Most of these communities have websites and you are encouraged to call or visit the communities or their websites to learn more about the people that we serve and protect.
Learning about the communities we police as well as issues that Indigenous communities in Canada face is essential into becoming a police officer with our service.
Prepare for your fitness test prior to applying!
Practice by conducting the Ontario PIN fitness test on your own. The Ontario PIN Test is comprised of the Shuttle Run, Pushups, Core Endurance as well as the Sit and Reach.
Ensuring you are able to meet the minimum requirement of a Level 7 on the 20 meter Shuttle Run is important as this is the requirement to graduate at the Ontario Police College.
This will ensure you are physically capable of passing the fitness testing on your test date!
In preparation for your interview, search for online resources to familiarize yourself with Essential Competency Interview (ECI) and Local Focused Interview (LFI) questions and how to properly respond to them.
We conduct two interviews for our application process. One focuses on ECI type questions and the second focusses on FLI type questions.
