The Aboriginal Pre-Cadet Training Program (APTP) offers Canadian Aboriginal people aged 19 – 29 the opportunity to experience daily police work with the RCMP. This 17 week summer program provides candidates with hands-on experience in the RCMP’s training program, and a unique opportunity to work in their community with police officers of the RCMP.
APTP candidates attend a three week training session at the RCMP Training Academy (Depot) in Regina, beginning in May. The training includes collaborative problem-solving skills, law enforcement, public speaking and cultural diversity. Elements of physical fitness and drill which promote team work and provide candidates with long-term strategies to meet their personal fitness goals are incorporated into the training.
After successful completion of the APTP course, candidates are posted to an RCMP detachment in or near their home community where they will work with police officers for 14 weeks. Activities and duties vary depending on the need of the detachment and will include crime prevention and community policing initiatives.
