Are you in a one-party state?

Elsewhere they said Ontario Canada, which it is!

It looks like in ON Canada, it is indeed a one-party consent area so your recording is valid.

Good one! Now make a copy and keep it safe. Now stop going in. Indeed it is harassment. Let the little man have his temper tantrum. Relax in the lead-up to the academy and enjoy a great career.

Depending on your location, this may well be a crime. I’m not saying this to be a dick, I’m saying it because you’re about to go into law enforcement and will need to think very carefully about posting things like this on public internet forums, burner account or not.
@Yan
Ontario, it’s one-party consent so totally above board.

No police department will give your boss’s unhinged rants the time of day. Well, they might, if you make a report for criminal harassment. Also, get used to having bad things said about you.

I get that, but this is a job and saying things about an employee being a boss of the company is not lawful as in it’s a crime in the eyes of the labour relations board.

This is why location is required in this sub. You aren’t getting accurate advice. What country are you in?

The Ontario Employment Standards Act appears to be the relevant statute you are looking for.
If you’ve already put in your two weeks’ notice, I bet you’ve already gone through a background investigation, right? In which case, he’s just noise since no one else said that about you.
Your employer can say anything they want to you directly, but chances of them actually talking to the police academy is slim to none and can be illegal. I think your boss is just upset you are actually leaving for the police academy and he is losing a good employee which most of the time is why bosses do this.
It is illegal if you were going to a different employer and your boss stating you are trigger happy since clearly this is false. Same thing with Police, but I highly doubt the academy will do anything. As long as you have solid references and pass the psych and physical evals, you should be fine. This is a long process to be vetted into the academy, so your employer can say things but it won’t impact your process of getting accepted. There is a ton more to it than just applying to be a police officer.
@Ciel
I do agree, but I have seen him first hand go after a coworker for leaving the job calling places around the city. As well as in walking into the job the individual just got well over what we used to make yelling and screaming at the workers saying he wants money for this worker because he put money into him. So the individual may not be able to get a job. And it happened the individual lost his new job and was not able to get a good job because the jobs didn’t want to have a worker with an old boss like that to not disturb their job site.
@Lin
Well, your old co-worker would have a legal employment case against your boss for his new employment firing him as that is not legal. You going to a police academy to become a police officer which is different compared to you going to a private sector employer. You are more protected from this mess due to the vetting process and you have powers to dispute what was said. I bet the police academy and the police department deal with this daily, but they will trust their background and psychologists when they vet for you than them listening to your old boss. If for any reason your boss does make you lose your job, which is very slim for police officer then you have a solid employment case against your old employer.
You need an attorney, friend. Free advice on Reddit by people like me who don’t even know what nation or state you’re living in is a waste of your time. I’d begin by calling your local bar association (if you’re in the USA) and get some recommendations on labor law attorneys or even a GP attorney who can refer you to the right person in your state. You have an actionable case. Get the proper representation and act on it today.
You learned the hard way. Never tell your boss (or anyone at work) your plans to do things outside of the company.
Get it on record… email him about it. If it’s vocal, record the conversation; although it wouldn’t be permissible in court you can easily bring it up in the interview and get ahead of them. Organizations won’t check with another company/organization until later stages.
