Your process will begin with the submission of an application to [recruitment@thunderbaypolice.ca](recruitment@thunderbaypolice.ca).  \nIf you are successful in the recruitment process, Human Resources will send you information to complete your Pre-Background Questionnaire (PBQ), reference check form and Service Waivers. These forms are required prior to proceeding with your application. These are straightforward documents that we use to get to know you. Please answer the questions as best you can and above all else, be honest. We may discuss some things from your PBQ with you and it’s important that you be honest. This includes that you not omit things that might be important for us to know (ie previous driving issues, employment issues, etc). Again, we’re testing honesty and integrity. We can hire people who have made mistakes in the past, but we can’t hire dishonest people, or individuals with questionable integrity.  \nA SAFE COMMUNITY.
