About the College
The Ontario Police College(OPC) provides training designed to prepare police officers to safely and effectively perform their duties, while meeting the needs of Ontario's diverse communities.

Note: The OPC is a post-hire institution and does not offer services to the general public. Individuals cannot apply directly to the Ontario Police College. Please contact your local police service or the Ontario Provincial Police, who would be pleased to assist you. If you are a member of a service or ministry interested in a course, please inform your service or ministry manager, who will then make the request to our Registration Office, if deemed appropriate. The primary clients of the OPC are police and civilian members of all police services in Ontario, including municipal and regional police services and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). Other clients include government employees from provincial and municipal enforcement agencies and clients from other provinces and abroad.

The college has 165 full- and part-time employees including instructors, support and seconded staff. The 45 permanent instructors are supplemented by police officers from various police services, usually for two-year periods.

History
In the early 1950s, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) proposed the idea of a central provincial police academy.

In 1959 the Attorney General appointed an advisory committee on police training and in 1962 announced the formal establishment of the college. OPC offered its first classes beginning January 7, 1963 in the temporary wartime training quarters of an abandoned Royal Canadian Air Force base near Aylmer, Ontario. It was not until 1976 that the college moved to its present facilities at that site. The operations of the OPC became the responsibility of the Ministry of the Solicitor General in 1972, now the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.


Location
The Ontario Police College is situated on 121.5 hectares of rural land five kilometers northeast of the town of Aylmer, Ontario, and 190 kilometers west of Toronto.
