Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

  • Words Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

    The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is committed to expanding the scope of its membership so that it can better-serve a growing and more culturally diverse population in the Nation’s Capital.

    As part of its commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), it introduced an Action Plan in January 2020, that implements an EDI lens on everything we do, from hiring to training to deployment so that we can better-support and better-serve the city’s Black, Indigenous and faith-based communities in the city.

    As a member of the OPS, your contributions to building public trust in our duty of care will help to create an inclusive and responsive police service that both the community and our members deserve.
