City of Fredericton – Current Career Opportunities  

The Fredericton Police Force Auxiliary Program was launched in 1984 with just nine members. The program has grown steadily over the years, drawing members from all walks of life, and with one thing in common – their willingness to provide an invaluable volunteer service to their community.

Auxiliary members can be seen performing duties such as initial and emergency response to calls with regular members, traffic and crowd control, crime scene security and community policing initiatives, among other tasks.

Auxiliary Constables are sworn in as Peace Officers pursuant to the NB Police Act and have the powers and authority of a peace officer but only when accompanied by and under the supervision of a regular police officer. Auxiliary Officers wear a regular police uniform and are identified by Red Auxiliary Police Patches and badges. Auxiliary Officers do not carry firearms.

We are not currently accepting applications for the auxiliary program.

For inquiries about the Auxiliary Program, please contact FPF Recruitment.

Civilian members are an important aspect at the Fredericton Police Force and include administrative support, social work, communications and more!
