The RCMP offers an amazing policing academy for current grade 10, 11 and 12 students.This program is designed to place the students in a simulated RCMP training environment (a mini version of depot in Regina). Students will receive instruction and lectures: law, social & communication skills, physical training, police tactics & self-defense, and a variety of other topics. This classroom learning will be put into practice with a great deal of role-playing scenarios where they will take full responsibility and reality of an RCMP constable. They will be required to work both individually and in teams, and participate in all planned activities. Students participating in this 9-day program will stay (overnight) at the camp and will have "room & board" for its duration. Activities will begin at 6.00am and run until 10.00pm each day.There are three phases to being accepted: "completed application" (see RCMP application link on the right), "fitness test" and "personal interview". A student must successfully complete all if they are to be one of the 10 Coquitlam students to participate. It is a wonderful opportunity and experience!Note: an updated application will be available beginning November 1, 2018 (see link on right)... they are due by Friday, December 14, 2018
