Auxiliary was originally formed in 1960 by an Order-in-Council when the program absorbed the Emergency Measures Organization who were trained in crowd control and first aid. The Program was managed by the O. P. P. and its members in the early years helped at community events and patrolled with regular O. P. P. members. Following an audit in 1988 a number of recommendations were made and in 1991 they became self-directed and the Commissioner appointed Auxiliary Chief Superintendent Terry Harkins as its Executive Director; Provincial Commander of the O. P. P. Auxiliary. The volunteer component developed and included ranks, positions, promotional processes that mirrored the regular O. P. P. structure. In the new organization the Auxiliary took on the responsibility for standardized selection process and training of its members. The Auxiliary O. P. P. uniform differs only in the light blue shirt they wear as opposed to the dark blue shirt worn by regular O. P. P. members and all components of their outwear bear insignia identifying them as "Auxiliary/Auxiliare" In 1997 GATB (General Aptitude Test Battery) and Psychological Testing of new auxiliary recruits commenced.
