Constable

at  Canadian National Railway

By joining the CN Railway Police Service (CNPS), you will be joining an historic policing profession that dates as far back as the early-1880s, when the use of the early Canadian police services proved to be insufficient in policing the expanding transcontinental Canadian railways. Today, similar to the original railway police from over 100 years ago, CNPS employs sworn officers across Canada and the United States leading CN to be the most secure and safest railway in North America.
At CN, every day brings new and exciting challenges. As a CNPS Constable, you can expect an interesting environment where you will protect international commerce by ensuring CN’s business is running optimally and safely. The CNPS provides the kind of paid training and opportunities on which long-term careers are built and recognizes hard workers who strive to make a difference. You will be able to thrive in our close-knit, safety-focused culture working together as ONE TEAM. The career we offer is meaningful because the work we do matters.
