Specialty Units - Recruiting - Winnipeg Police

Considering a career with the Winnipeg Police Service and have an interest in working in one of our specialty units?

Generally members must spend a minimum of five years as General Patrol officers responding to both emergency and non-emergency calls for service. The time officers spend in General Patrol is imperative to their overall development.

During this phase, members will apply their knowledge of the Criminal Code of Canada, Youth Criminal Justice Act, Controlled Drug and Substances Act, Highway Traffic Act, Liquor Control Act and Mental Health Act, to name a few. This time also allows the Officer to develop his or her investigative and communication skills, which are imperative to work successfully in a specialty division.

Once a member has completed five years of service, he or she is eligible to apply for specialty units which focus on specific areas of police work, such as Plain Clothes Investigations, Commercial Crime, Child Abuse, Homicide and the Canine Unit, to name a few.
