Mayor Mark Sutcliffe | Hiring more police officers

10/07/2025

Hiring more police officers

We're working hard to improve public safety in Ottawa. That's why we're hiring more police officers and other emergency workers every year. Last year, we hired 134 new police officers, the largest new group in our city's history. And we're hiring more this year. We’re also expanding the special constable program and introducing district policing to bring officers closer to the communities they serve. It’s making a big difference.
