Red Deer students attend RCMP youth training academy

Dec 4, 2024 | 1:00 PM

Red Deer RCMP recently hosted its annual Youth Training Academy event.

The event provides a unique opportunity to students interested in careers with law enforcement.

It includes hands-on demonstrations of handcuffinf, conducting arrests, and completing the physical abilities requirement evaluation.

Students also got to engage with police dog services, the forensic identification section, and victim services.

“Each officer or team member shared insights into their roles, explaining how their work contributes to investigations and the overall success of police operation,” the detachment says in a release.

“One of the highlights of the day was a mock investigation scenario where students worked alongside specialized officers to understand the investigative process. This exercise demonstrated the collaboration required between units to successfully resolve a case.”

Students who have interest but missed the event can inquire with their school guidance counsellors.
