Have you dreamed of being a real-life superhero? From ending crime to catching bad guys, police constables work diligently, day in and day out, to keep their cities and towns safe for all residents.The process of becoming an officer in Ontario, though, can be a long one. There are several stages interested applicants need to pass through successfully before they are able to search for a position as a constable.

Anyone who wants to become an officer should take a series of self-assessments to determine if working in the field is a good fit and if they have the skills necessary to excel as an officer.

The first stage of testing includes three exams on one day: an analytical thinking inventory that measures various types of reasoning and basic math skills, a written exam, and a physical fitness challenge.

If an applicant passes the first stage, they are able to apply for the second stage, which includes a behavioural response assessment and vision and hearing exam.
Interested applicants should plan on studying for each exam, and increasing their physical conditioning to meet the demands of the tests.
One way many people have found success is through a test preparation program, like Police Test Prep, an Ontario-based company that has prepared thorough practice exams for each component of the exams.
