My policing career started in 1994 as an Auxiliary Police Constable with the Gloucester Police Service. I volunteered my time in the community, helping the police service with various community functions. This is where I fell in love with the career and what it had to offer.
In 1996 I joined the Ottawa Carleton Regional Police. I began working on Patrol, like so many rookie cops. This is where you learn the job! Working in the trenches with teamates helps build your street smarts. I then went on to work in the Traffic services section, riding Harley Davidson`s, escorting VIP`s while visiting the Nation`s Capital, conducted heavy truck enforcement campaigns and worked diligently to keep Ottawa roads safe. While in this section, I had the luxury to work in the snowmobile enforcement arm of the unit. It was cold, but fun.
From Traffic, I returned to patrol for a few years. I joined the marine and underwater squad and patrolled our waterways for three years. It was truly the best section I worked in! I then transferred to the Airport policing unit where I began my Acting Sgt assignment. From here, I transferred to a patrol platoon in the downtown core(Byward Market/Vanier) where I supervised 8 great officers. I was promoted to the rank of Sgt after 8 years.
From patrol Sgt, I did a short time in cell block booking and releasing prisoners and then headed up the newly minted DART unit within the Guns and Gang unit.
I retired in Feb 2009 to run my businesses full time, although I was a cop, I was also an entrepeneur. When I left the service, I thought I would help good candidates get hired by passing on my ECI experience to those who truly want to win. And so coprecruiter was started.
I have held seminars in Ottawa for aspiring police officers and am proud to say some have since been hired. I have followed up with the “How to Ace the Police Essential Competency Interview” E Book so that more people can benefit from the information.
I have used my successful career to bring you success in obtaining your dream job.
Thank You
Paul

Hey Paul,
We spoke briefly through email a few months ago when I purchased your book. I just passed my LFI today and am scheduled for my ECI in july. Are you still running the ECI prep classes?

Hi Nick,
Congrats! You will do fine. I do not have any seminars scheduled this summer. Follow the principles outlined in my ebook and you should do fine.
Let me know how you make out.

Hi Paul,
I have a LFI with Waterloo Regional Police Service this Thursday. If I purchase the ebook today, would I be able to read through it and have time to prepare before my interview?
Thanks,
Shirley

Yes, as the LFI is not as detailed as the ECI, it will give you an idea on how to answer the ECI questions. They are backed up with examples. It is not very big and easy to read. Any edge will help. Good luck with Waterloo!

My son is looking to interview for policing jobs. Unfortunately, he does not have access to the internet. Can I print the ebook out for him or is it read only?
