The help wanted sign is up at Ontario Provincial Police.Commissioner Chris Lewis says staffing levels are a concern for him and the OPP are looking to fill expected vacancies.
"We're losing about 400 people to retirement this year," says Lewis, "so we're recruiting actively. We've hired a number of experienced officers from other police departments. We're also recruiting new recruits. We have a number of good applicants."
Lewis says part of the emphasis is encouraging more people from northern Ontario to consider the OPP as a career.
