City of Belleville Police are now accepting applications for their auxiliary process.

The Belleville Police Service Auxiliary is a group of volunteers who work with
regular force Police Constables to ensure the safety and well-being of the City of
Belleville.

The Auxiliary Program supports and assists the police service with general
patrol, R.I.D.E program, community events, and emergency call-outs. Auxiliary
members have no police authority – they must rely on the same arrest provisions
as regular citizens. There are some instances when an Auxiliary member may
have the authority of a Police Constable. This can occur in an emergency
situation, or when the Belleville Police Service requires additional strength to
assist with a special event.

Further, the Auxiliary Program members show their support for the Belleville
Police Service and the community by volunteering at city-wide special events.
Since the unit was formed in 1985, the Auxiliary Program members have
participated in a variety of fund-raising activities.

The Auxiliary Program is a volunteer position, and it is unpaid. Successful
applicants will complete the Auxiliary Recruit Training Course. The time
commitment to this program is twelve (12) hours per month (patrol, community
events, ride alongs, training).

Applicants for the Belleville Police Service Auxiliary Program must meet or
surpass the following minimum requirements and standards:

• Be at least 18 years of age.
• Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada and legally
entitled to work in Canada.
• Possess a Grade 12 graduation diploma or equivalent or post-secondary
education at an accredited college or university as an adult student as a

• Be in good health (physically and mentally fit) and meet the physical,
mental and medical requirements of the OACP and Belleville Police
Service.
• Preference will be given to applicants within geographical range, as
members of the unit are expected to respond to emergency call-outs.

Recruitment steps for the Auxiliary program include an application review, written
assessment (pre-background), fitness assessment, panel interview and a
