Older Adults Police Academy - Applications Closed
Are you aged 55+ and want to know what happens behind the scenes at DRPS?
The Durham Regional Police Service Older Adults Police Academy's goal is to create ambassadors for DRPS by sharing the knowledge they learn during the Academy with others in the community about issues affecting seniors.
- Learn about issues affecting you and your community.
- Tour Durham Regional Police Service facilities.
- Make a difference in your community!
The very first academy goes back to 2019 and it has been a great success ever since. Through the week-long program, attendees will gain a better understanding of the DRPS, the services we provide and the decisions we make, often in an emergency or crisis situation.
