The Auxiliary Unit is being recognized by the OPP during national volunteer week.
Auxiliary Units across the province represent about 200,000 hours dedicated to policing every year in a volunteer capacity.
Those members assist officers in the field and serve as a much needed component of enforcement and manpower in northern communities like Kapuskasing, Hearst, Cochrane and Iroquois Falls.
James Bay Detachment Commander, Inspector Mike Pilon says it’s a great way for young hopeful officers to get experience and be a part of the community.
