Civilian OPP Police Academy starting in Grey County and Bruce Peninsula

The OPP in Grey County and the Bruce Peninsula are preparing to launch their first Civilian Police Academy.

The academy will give Grey-Bruce residents 18 years of age and older an opportunity to learn first-hand about policing issues, policies and programs.

The goals of the Academy are to provide a better understanding of policing in Grey County and the Bruce Peninsula, provide stronger citizen/police relationships, reduce crime, and enhance the lines of communication.

There will be eight sessions on Wednesday evenings starting February 6, 2019. The sessions will take place at either the Chatsworth or Wiarton OPP detachments.

There are limited spots available.

Interested applicants should email their contact information along with a brief explanation of why they are interested in participating to Sgt. Nigel Heels at nigel.heels@opp.ca or Sgt. Nigel Heels can also be reached directly at 519-375-6179.
