Training Unit & Recruitment
Training is one of the most important aspects of policing and is a fundamental unit of the Barrie Police Service. With sworn members required to complete 40 hours of training a year, this Unit is relied upon to make sure our members are prepared both mentally and physically for any call they may encounter. In 2022, they continued to go well beyond the minimum requirements and created a specialized Coaches’ Course to help provide mentorship for the Barrie Police Service’s newest recruits. Through local partnerships the Unit also offered Racial Trauma Training which will be part of an on-going research project to study and ensure its
effectiveness.
