Civilian Recruiting
Civilian members play an important role in the York Regional Police service. Civilians hold positions within the districts at the administration level and as crime analysts, communications, records inquiry bureau, human resource services, courts, finance, planning and information technology. Civilians are employed as permanent or temporary staff in both full and part-time employment. Some positions involve two or three rotating shifts; therefore in such cases applicants must be prepared to follow a rotating shift schedule. Civilian careers are attractive to those interested in working within a policing environment, but who are not necessarily interested in becoming a police officer. York Regional Police offers a professional environment where career development and advancement opportunities are available. An internal job posting system provides civilian members with an opportunity to apply for a promotion or a career change.
