The Saint John Police are excited to announce the launch of a recruitment campaign for our Two-tier, uniform and non-uniform, Auxiliary Police Program.
The Saint John Police Auxiliary Program marked its 25th anniversary in 2024 celebrating over 76,000 volunteer hours since inception in 1999. Over 30% of our members have since transitioned to paid law enforcement positions.
Following a comprehensive review of our program, we are enhancing our existing service aimed at bolstering community engagement, safety and law enforcement efforts in Saint John.
Auxiliary police members serve a vital role within the Saint John Police, assisting regular officers in maintaining public safety, engaging with the community, and promoting crime prevention initiatives.
Uniform Auxiliary Members volunteer their time to support community engagement initiatives such as youth programs, crime prevention programs, traffic control, and community events. They also assist with law enforcement initiatives such as frontline police operations, traffic campaigns, search and rescue support, and large-scale evidence-based searches.
Non-uniform Auxiliary Members volunteer their time to support community engagement initiatives such as career fairs, community events, crime prevention initiatives, and public education. They also assist with administrative engagement such as quality assurance call backs and tours of Peel Plaza.
“This recruitment drive seeks motivated and community-oriented individuals who are willing to commit their time and skills to make a positive impact and serve the people who live, work, and visit Saint John with integrity, professionalism, accountability, and valour” Chief R.M. Bruce
Members will receive professional instruction, enhancing their skills in various areas of law enforcement, community service, and emergency response.
