Sergeant Darryl Wilson has been recruiting prospective members to the O-P-P for the past decade and says they're are always looking to replenish the ranks.
"A a large organization we are continuously looking for the competitive and suitable candidates," says Wilson, "because were always faced with officers retiring. Yes it's hard times, but we still need to be replacing those who are leaving."
About a dozen individuals attended a recent recruitment session in Fort Frances, but Wilson says they'll always had difficulties convincing people from northwestern Ontario to consider a career in policing.
"I never seem to have the numbers. If a class if going through of the full class a full dozen would be coming to northwestern Ontario. The numbers from the north that started living in the north might be only eight."
Wilson says some feel their age is a deterrent, but notes the last graduating class include a student who was 48-years old.
