Ever dreamed of patrolling the streets and locking up bad guys?
Well, the New Westminster Police Department is currently accepting applications for its annual student police academy, which runs July 4 to 16.
The two-week academy is open to students in grades 11 or 12 and is for anyone interested in a career in policing. The chosen students will get a behind the scenes look at policing, including taking part in scenario-based simulations, firearm safety and tactical training. They’ll also get to meet members of the K9 unit, check out the police helicopter Air 1 and take trip on the river with the New West police marine unit.
Students must apply before March 29 and are chosen based on several core values, including professionalism, responsibility, accountability, integrity and service.
