Local News: Police seek woman, minority recruits
Trying to keep up with
rapid growth and changes in
ethnic demographics, police
forces across the GTA are
desperate for new officers,
especially women and visible
minorities. That’s caused
competition among forces
“Everyone is vying for the
same applicant pool in terms
of women, visible minorities,
Aboriginal, disabled,” says
Sgt. Terry James, a recruiter
for Toronto Police Service.
Candidates often don’t
apply to only one police
force. “It becomes a competitive
process,” says Staff Sgt.
Scott Burns of Durham Regional
Police Service.
Whether in the 905 regions
or the City of Toronto,
many police are baby
boomers edging towards retirement.
At the same time,
the communities they work
for are growing rapidly.
York Region is increasing
by about 35,000 people a
year, says Insp. Stan Colley,
who heads up professional
development for York Regional
Police. “We’re trying
to keep up.”
