There has never been a better time to join the @VancouverPD. We're #recruiting talented people who are ready to serve with integrity, compassion, and professionalism in one of Canada's most dynamic cities. Recruits will have the unique opportunity to be among the first classes to train at the brand new Vancouver Police Training Academy, helping shape the next generation of policing from day one. If you're looking for a career with purpose, challenge, and opportunity, we want to hear from you. Join our team. Serve your community. Build your future. #FirstClass @VPDRecruiting #JoinVPD
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Vancouver Police Department and the city we serve.
For the first time since 1978, the #VPD will be able to fully develop the next generation of police officers from the day they join us through graduation and into their careers.
Our new Police Academy will provide specialized, hands-on training to prepare recruits for the complex challenges of modern policing, including mental health and addictions, vulnerable populations, violent and organized crime, cybercrime, and public disorder. It allows us to develop recruits using the experience of Vancouver Police officers and to integrate classroom learning with realistic scenarios based on the challenges our members face every day.
We want our officers to meet—and exceed—provincial standards and be ready to serve Vancouver from their very first day on the job.
The success of this Academy won’t be measured by the facility. It will be measured by the quality of the officers who graduate from it.
