WRPS Launches New Recruitment Campaign
Last month, we were excited to announce a new recruitment campaign aimed at attracting qualified candidates who are seeking a rewarding career as a police officer.
The campaign highlights the many exciting opportunities available at WRPS – opportunities that will allow members to learn, grow, and succeed in a variety of different fields. It also highlights our commitment to working in partnership with the community to ensure everyone is safe and feels safe.
The campaign features some of our members in a series of videos, commercials, and digital ads that will be released throughout the next six months on social media and local theatres.

"If Kids Get It, Why Don't You?" - WRPS Partners with OPP and MADD for Impaired Driving Campaign
WRPS, in partnership with MADD Canada and the Ontario Provincial Police, has launched an impaired driving campaign to encourage drivers to think twice before driving impaired.
The campaign - If Kids Get it, Why Don't You? - features five children providing their insight on impaired driving. The goal of the campaign is to show that even young children understand the dangers of driving impaired and, if they do, adults should as well.

The results are in for our holiday season food drive at local Zehrs for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.
On December 18 and 19, 2021, you donated a total of $2,452 in cash, 3,211 pounds in food, and provided 9,864 meals to those in need.
Your generosity was overwhelming. Thank you so much!
