Student Police Academy

The CPS Student Police Academy allows Grade 12 students to spend a day in the life of a Calgary police officer.

Co-ordinated by CPS School Resource Officers, the academy gives students the opportunity to work with an officer coach who will teach them how police use verbal communication, conflict resolution and arbitration skills to approach calls for service.

The students are given mock police uniforms and respond to a variety of scenario-based activities, including:

  • Mock robberies
  • Checks on welfare
  • Traffic Stops
  • Collisions
