Safe environment and enhanced knowledge about the career of policing.

Student Employee (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 8 November 2015

YIPI (Youth In Policing Initiative), was a summer internship that I was lucky to take part in. Not only did it provide students with information of policing, but it also allowed the students to have a more hands on experience. We participated in activities such as: repelling, the shooting range and also took part in the police PREP test. The most enjoyable part of the job was going out into the community and making a change. We did things such as: graffiti clean-up, learn more about the foster care homes, interact with the elderly, and also provide awareness of safety to children. Overall, it was a great experience and it further enlarged my knowledge in the career of policing.

Pros

Interacting with more police officers, being involved in activities, and the salary

Cons

Professional Environment in Correctional Setting

Special Constable Acting Supervi (Current Employee) – Toronto, Ontario – 20 December 2016

A typical day in an acting supervisory role includes organizing institutional pick up of inmates, including adult males, females and young offenders. Ensuring court appearances of inmates are conducted in an efficient and timely manner. Liaison with all levels of staff, management and Judiciary members. Keeping detailed notes regarding all medical and emergency incidents throughout the day and reporting directly to Staff Sergeant and Duty Inspector. Ensure safety of all staff members and inmates within the cell area. Rectify any administrative deficiencies associated with Recognizances of Bail, Warrants of Committal, Jail Papers, Remand Warrants and DNA Orders. Organize the safe and efficient return of all inmates at the end of each day.

Management can occasionally be resistant to recommended changes within the bureau. Co-workers often become discouraged due to lack of team support from management. The most challenging aspect of my job is being caught between a team of co-workers who are in desperate need of positive leadership and a full-time management team who are often opposed to providing necessary changes within the bureau.

The most enjoyable aspect of my job is being an active participant during high profile trials, verdicts and sentencing hearings.

Pros

Excellent Health Benefits, Reimbursement for Continued Education

Cons

Poor Air Quality, No Light (Basement), Highly Stressful

Peel Police Review

Youth civilian worker (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 23 April 2013

This job was an excellent experience, unfortunately it was only a summer position that was offered to students. I got to work in a few different divisions and in different sections of the police force. This included the tactical unit, marine unit and even records unit. Since I've always loved law, this job was perfect for me. I got to learn the ins and outs of the every day life of a cop; in and outside the cruiser. The hardest part about this job was getting the cops that you were working with to accept you. Since they are very protective of what they do and the contents that they deal with, they are really conscious and territorial when it comes to new comers. The best part about this job was all the experience I gained through this job.

Leaders in Workplace Wellness & Health Promotion

Wellness intern (Former Employee) – Derry Road Mississauga ON – 14 September 2016

The working environment was upbeat, organized and cooperative. There was some disagreement between the Occupational Health and the Healthy Lifestyle divisions. Voluntary Health practices were not accepted fully by the HR department. Coworkers were supportive and my boss was helpful. The difficulty was she was very busy. I learned about the hierarchy of getting approval. This meant proposals could be out of date by the time they were approved.
The satisfaction of seeing the employees take advantage of programs designed for their wellbeing was inspirational.
