The Ontario Provincial Police Association’s membership has ratified new Uniform and Civilian Collective Agreements, “making our Uniform OPP Association Members the highest paid police in Ontario,” states a release issued July 22.
The Association represents about 10,000 officers and civilian employees.
According to the release, 87.7% of its members ratified the Uniform Agreement, and 92.9% voted to ratify the Civilian Collective Agreement.
The terms of the agreements run from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2026 (four years). The percentages of yearly salary increases are retroactive to the dates identified.
January 1, 2023 – 4.75%
January 1, 2024 – 4.50%
January 1, 2025 – 2.75%
January 1, 2026 – 2.75%
OPP Association President John Cerasuolo states: “Our Sworn Police Officers and Civilian Members work tirelessly to serve and protect the citizens of Ontario each and every day, often putting their own lives at risk. Our Members deserve to be the top paid police in Ontario. We wish to thank the Bargaining Team on both sides for their diligent work to finalize these Collective Agreements, and thank our Membership for the support.”
By the end of the deal, a first-class constable will earn $123,194 per year.
The OPP Association is the sole bargaining agent for the close to 10,000 members of the Ontario Provincial Police. Twenty branches serve Members throughout Ontario, and the Head Office is located in Barrie.
