Recruit Spotlight: Omed Baktair

I am proud to be Kurdish. 

I have a background in law enforcement, having served as a correctional officer in British Columbia before joining the Ottawa Police Service. I speak four languages in addition to English including Arabic, Kurdish, Turkish and Farsi, which allow me to connect with diverse communities.  

My passion for policing comes from my commitment to public safety. 

I look forward to serving and making a difference in Ottawa.

Welcome to the Ottawa Police Service, Cst. Baktair!
