Hiring Practices
• In Ontario, we subscribe to the Constable Selection System
(CSS)
• Data on competencies from CSS shared with Public Sector
Council (overlap)
• Opportunity for individual agencies to have “local”
requirements. These competencies can then be
explored at the local focused interview stage.

• Where a performance issue is identified, refer to the
competencies to assist with a benchmark for setting
expectations.
