Graduation day for EPS Recruit Training Class #139

The latest Edmonton Police Service recruits will formally graduate from their training and become full-fledged police officers at a prestigious ceremony at City Hall on Friday.

 

 

The recruits have come from diverse careers and countries to join the EPS.  Having met all requirements, they recently completed an intense year of academic and field development training and assessment, and are now ready to serve their community as police officers. 

 

Graduating from RTC #139 will be 28 EPS officers (21 male, seven female), one EPS canine team, and one officer (female) from the Camrose Police Service. 

 

Participating in the graduation ceremony will be Acting Police Chief Kevin Brezinski, Edmonton-Centre MLA David Shepherd, Deputy Mayor Scott McKeen, Edmonton Police Commission Vice-Chair Tim O’Brien, and special guests Camrose Mayor Norman Mayer, Camrose Police Chief Mark Neufeld, and Robert Ford, Chair of the Camrose Police Commission.

 

The ceremony is filled with 125 years of pride and tradition, and will include a formal procession by the EPS Honour Guard, performances by the EPS Pipes and Drums and the EPS Chorus, colourful flag and marching drills, comments from EPS members and special guests, and diploma presentations. 

 

Recruit class members will also receive recognition awards for demonstrating excellence in problem solving, officer safety, academics, humanitarianism, fitness, and a trainers’ choice category. 

 

Members of the public are invited to join the recruits and their family and friends at the graduation ceremony.
