Patrol Officer

at  Canadian National Railway

Join our team!
By joining the CN Railway Police Service (CNPS), you will be joining an historic policing profession that dates as far back as the mid-1800s, when the number of U.S. Marshals serving in U.S. territories was insufficient to police the growing intercontinental railways. Today, similar to the original railway police, CNPS employs sworn officers across the United States and Canada 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 Patrol Officer, you can expect an interesting environment where you will protect interstate 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. As a member of the CNPS team, 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.
