Provincial Police in Northwestern Ontario are looking for new recruits.
Sergeant Darryl Wilson begins a massive recruitment drive in Ear Falls on September 9th and he will make his way across the entire region.
Wilson says anyone with a slight interest in policing is urged to attend a free information session.

Wilson says he will provide interested candidates with information related to the OPP, the stages of recruitment and how to prepare.
