Ontario eliminating post-secondary education requirement to become police officers

'I don't think bringing an arts degree is necessarily the criteria to go to Ontario Police College and to be a cadet'

TORONTO — Ontario will eliminate the post-secondary education requirement to become a police officer, expand enrolment for its basic training program and axe tuition fees at the Ontario Police College, the premier said Tuesday."We need reinforcements, we need more police officers on our streets," Ford said at the Toronto Police College.

Solicitor General Michael Kerzner defended the elimination of the post-secondary requirement to become an officer. The province will provide about $20 million to cover tuition over the next three years, which is when the program will be reassessed, Kerzner said. The 470 cadets who just graduated will also have their tuition covered.
