2) Essential Competency Interview (ECI)
The ECI is designed to evaluate your existing knowledge, skills, and abilities related to the seven core competencies the Peel Regional Police are looking for.

Please remember actions from your life that demonstrated these needed competencies. These may be from work, education, volunteering or your personal life. Try to use examples that are as recent as possible. However, a strong example from 3 years ago is better than a weak example from last week.
