Helping build safer communities through work-integrated learning

To help support the evolving needs of the local community, Nipissing University is partnering to help train Ontario’s future police workforce through the OPP Auxiliary Training Program.

The program provides students in Nipissing’s criminal justice program with the opportunity to learn more about a career in law enforcement through work-integrated learning. By undergoing police-related testing and application processes, selected students go through basic OPP Auxiliary police training and serve as Auxiliary members on campus and in the community. Through the program, students support officers in everyday duties, such as patrols, community events, RIDE initiatives and victim assistance.

The OPP Auxiliary is a volunteer-based network that works with regular force OPP officers to promote and support community safety programs in keeping with the OPP’s mission to ensure safety and well-being for the province of Ontario.
