The Niagara Regional Police Service prides itself as being an Equal Opportunity Employer.  Over the years, many initiatives and activities have been developed and continue to be built upon to eliminate barriers to equal opportunity.  It is the belief of the Service that diversity brings different perspectives and insight and helps the Service to better represent the community it serves.

As is shown by the career of Chief Wendy Southall, there is no limit to how far an officer can go within our Service.  There are no limitations based on gender, race, ethnicity, or other factors related to one's personal beliefs and heritage.  The Niagara Regional Police Service simply wants the best person available for any job within the Service.

Our Service believes in having a fair, inclusive workplace that inspires and nurtures Members to achieve their potential.  The hiring and promotional process is based on an individual's merits and abilities.  We believe in eliminating any systematic barriers to equal opportunity, and are diligent to prevent new ones from being established.  Measures are in place, inclusive to policies and complaint systems, that are designed to effectively handle any possible incidents of discrimination and harassment.  We have zero tolerance for such incidents that could jeopardize the safety and future of officers in our Service.
