Grade 11 and 12 students interested in learning about becoming a police officer are invited to take Introduction to Policing, a course offered by the Coquitlam RCMP.
The program offers hands-on training and real-life demonstrations from police officers on everything from general duty work and traffic enforcement to forensic identification to polygraph training.
An in-depth field trip of a maximum security corrections facility is also part of the class and students will get a chance to learn about self-defence training and police physical testing.
The course costs $120 per student with all proceeds donated to local school districts in the form of the RCMP Scholarship. The course consists of nine training sessions and all instruction is conducted by volunteer police officers.
For more information contact Sgt. Farid Siddiqui ([email protected]), Cpl. Ray Stanford ([email protected]) or call 604-945-1550.
