The Ottawa Police Service is now accepting applications for the 2026 Thomas G. Flanagan S.C. Scholarship Award. Established in 1993 in memory of former Ottawa Police Chief Thomas G. Flanagan (1989–1993), this annual $2,000 scholarship supports Indigenous and racialized women who are pursuing post-secondary education with aspirations of a career in policing. “This scholarship represents more than financial support—it’s a commitment to creating a police service that reflects the diversity of the community we serve,” said Staff Sgt. Lila Shibley from the Ottawa Police Recruiting Team. “We’re proud to empower Indigenous and racialized women to pursue their ambitions in policing and to bring their voices and perspectives into our service.” 🔹 Who should apply?

Folks, I want to congratulate 23 people who passed their Shuttle Run today! We had 76 people registered for the Shuttle run... 5 sent email that they couldn't attend. 41 showed up.... 18 failed. 23 PASSED That left me with a total of 30 no shows.... I spoke of transparency in the interview prep this week. I will be transparent with you right now, I am disappointed in 41 people not showing up for their scheduled fitness test, no email or explanation as to why. Remember what I said, you are always making that impression of who you are, what character you have. For those that failed to show up today, you did not fail me or OPS, you ultimately let yourself down. If you found today difficult...good, let that fuel you, work hard and come back for the next Shuttle run. Please take a moment to congratulate all who passed today! Its go time!...I am looking forward to seeing your applications on Monday! For all those that passed their Shuttle Run, tell me it didn't feel like hitting a home run today for yourself and your family! It's only the start, keep working hard & prep for your interview!
