Auxiliary Members are dedicated community volunteers who support frontline policing through public engagement and operational assistance. These uniformed volunteers assist with special events, crime prevention initiatives, community patrols, and emergency call-outs, all while working alongside regular members of the police service. While they do not carry firearms or have police powers, their presence plays a vital role in strengthening community-police relationships.

The Local Focus Assessment
We will send you a Pre-Background Questionnaire and a Personal History Form to complete digitally before the assessment. The assessment is a scheduled, in-person session that includes written short-answer style questions.
Interview #1: Intake
This interview is typically 90 minutes long and is completed virtually over Microsoft Teams. It assesses how you will act under a given set of conditions through ethics-based questions and a review of your previously submitted Pre-Background Questionnaire.
Psychological Test and Interview
This test and Interview determine your suitability for the world of policing. There is no way to study or prepare for this stage. Just get a good night's sleep and arrive on time.
Background Investigation
This step is where we speak with past employers, friends, family, personal references, and anyone else who we think might be able to help.
