An Officer can add to their base salary through different premiums: overtime, seniority premiums, growth premiums, night shift premiums, etc. In addition to salaries and premiums, Officers enjoy other benefits. For example, leaves, employee insurance, pension plan, special allowance, and employee assistance programs are just a sample of what we offer to improve the quality of life and well-being of our Officers.
Enjoy the Fresh Air & Views
We call ourselves Eeyou. Our land - Eeyou Istchee - which means the People’s Land. Eeyou Istchee is home to over 18,000 people. With its language, traditions, and customs still vibrant and alive, you will live a wonderful cultural immersion. Cree language, iiyiyuu ayimuun, is very much alive and spoken by our people. Most of our community members are bilingual - Cree and English - and French is also spoken by some. There are currently nine (9) Cree communities incorporated into our Treaty - the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. In each of these communities, we have a police detachment where you can be proud to serve.

Not all career path in policing is the same, but if you have the right skills, you may see yourself progress through EEPF’s ranks. While employed, you'll receive on-going training, support, and guidance to ensure you're fully equipped to do your job safely and confidently.
