Graduation Day
Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Rick Bartolucci is addressing 460 recruits participating at Ontario Police College's March Past and Review Ceremony today, April 2, 2009 in Aylmer, Ontario. The following video was taken at last fall's ceremony.
The Ontario Police College trains police and civilian members of all police services in Ontario, including municipal and regional police services and the Ontario Provincial Police. Other clients include government employees from provincial and municipal enforcement agencies and clients from other provinces and abroad.
The college does not offer training to the general public or to people who want to become police officers.
In addition to its permanent staff, the college has instructors who are police officers on loan from police services across the province.
History
The Ontario Police College offered its first classes in January 1963 in the temporary wartime training quarters of an abandoned Royal Canadian Air Force base near Aylmer, Ontario. In 1976, the college moved to its current facilities at that site.
In 1972, the Solicitor General, now the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, took over responsibility for the college.
The Ontario Police College is located 190 kilometres west of Toronto near the town of Aylmer.
