The Abbotsford Police Junior Police Academy gives high school students in private and public schools and UCFV Criminology Program students the opportunity to learn about the application process, training and a career in law enforcement. Students submit their resumes with a completed application form. Applications can be forwarded to Cst. Dizy or your own School Liaison Officer.
Students participate in a physical test.
If they pass, they are given an interview with 2-3 police officers. If they pass their interview, they will have an extensive background check completed. The Junior Police Academy takes up approximately 10 days. During this 10-day period students participate for approximately 100 hours which can be applied as work experience hours or CAPP hours. The Abbotsford Junior Police Academy focuses on teamwork, confidence building and teaching youth about what a career as a police officer entails.
