The Winkler Police Service in Winkler, Manitoba, is currently looking to hire two new constables to join its team. This recruitment drive is a proactive effort to prepare for upcoming retirements and to keep up with the needs of the community. Interested residents are encouraged to submit their applications for these local law enforcement positions while the recruitment remains active. The deadline for applications is March 27, 2026.

Police Chief Ryan Hunt says that while the department typically grows at a steady pace, these new hires are necessary to maintain service levels in the city. The new officers will be responsible for community-focused work, such as patrolling neighborhoods, responding to calls for service, and helping with local crime prevention programs.

Winkler is currently one of the fastest-growing cities in the province, which has increased the demand for emergency services. The police department is currently made up of 22 sworn officers and a total of 27 staff members who work together to keep the city safe.

Applications for the open constable positions are being accepted as part of this hiring cycle. This recruitment offers a chance for people to start a career in policing while serving their own community in a growing urban environment.
