Your biggest challenge... bad officers, not bad guys - Police Constable Toronto Police Service Employee Review

Pros

There are many very good people that work for the TPS who have extraordinarily strong character and have a good heart and conscience. The job changes everyone though - it is unavoidable. The good stay good - but the job will inevitably steal some of the sparkle.

Cons

The near super-human efforts of so many good officers are constantly overshadowed by an impenetrable, antiquated dogma that erodes the moral and spirit of even the strongest men. This is a very right wing, military organization, and it is suffused with more arrogant bullies, top to bottom, than one would imagine possible. It purports itself to be proactive & forward-thinking, but do not be fooled as talk is cheap for PR. If you still think you want to work here, be prepared to close your eyes, turn your ears & shut your mouth. Do whatever they tell you. Well... except for the part where they tell you to be honest about somebody-did-something-wrong. I can guarantee you, they will not have your back if you tell the truth... nor will they have your back if you lie. Either way, you are on your own.
