Current Opportunities

The Auxiliary Unit is an integral part of the Peterborough Police Service.  Auxiliary officers serve the community in a volunteer capacity.  Most hold full-time jobs in completely unrelated fields, choosing to give back to the community by joining our Service.  In recent years the Auxiliary Unit’s combined volunteer time has surpassed 6,000 hours. Their efforts contribute to the good quality of life in the municipalities that we serve. 

Auxiliary police officers provide services at parades, special events, R.I.D.E. program, provide information on crime prevention, or work along side with police officers during regular police patrols. 

The Peterborough Police Service has an authorized complement of 35 Auxiliary members, under the direct supervision of the Inspector of Operations. The Auxiliary Unit is currently comprised of an Inspector, Staff Sergeants, Sergeants and Constables.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a civilian, non profit, charitable organization that brings together the community, the police and the media in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest.
