Brooks & Newell Safe Communities

This work experience is offered to students who have a genuine interest in policing as a potential career. This is a 5-day mini police academy where you will have the opportunity to learn about different aspects of policing and operational support units. It is a small sampling of a vast and exciting career that is ever changing. There will be opportunities to speak with various professionals from the field. On the last day we will have an RCMP recruiter present to explain the application process for the RCMP and answer any questions you may have. Upon successful completion of the Youth Police Academy, students will receive a certificate, letter of reference and three (3) credits.

The forms must be completed in full, including candidate, school staff, and parent signatures. Letter of recommendation and resume must be attached to be considered.

Applications must be turned into your school office or the Brooks Detachment, attention to the Community Policing Unit by January 12, 2024.
