Where Do I Start?
The OACP is actively working towards creating different packages to better help our applicants become streamlined in the hiring process. Below we have illustrated each of the two packages which will help you identify which process you should be pursuing.
OACP Certificate Package
This entry package is for new applicants only. If you have never participated in the OACP Certificate Process before, you start here.
OACP Re-Certification Package
This package is for returning applicants only who have waited the full mandatory 10-month waiting period, regardless if your previous OACP Certificate is valid or expired.

Financial Assistance Initiative for Candidates
Resource Assistance Package for OACP Certificate Candidates
The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), and TNT Justice Consultants, have taken the initiative to establish partnerships with multiple employment centres across Ontario to better support individuals pursuing careers in policing.
The goal of this initiative is to help candidates gain access to valuable services and resources, including financial assistance programs, employment development supports, career counselling, training opportunities, and job-readiness services. Through these partnerships, the OACP Certificate Office works closely with employment centres and support organizations to help ensure candidates receive meaningful guidance and assistance throughout the police recruitment process.
