The recruits have come from as far as India, Croatia, Serbia and the United Kingdom, bringing a rich diversity of experience and ability to EPS. Graduates are fluent in many languages including English, French, Arabic, Punjabi, Hindi, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Cantonese, Korean and Mandarin.
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.
Five males from the Experienced Officer Program (a program for officers with previous police experience in other Canadian jurisdictions) will also be graduating alongside RTC 140.
Participating in the graduation ceremony will be Deputy Chief Greg Preston, Hon. Kathleen Ganley - Minister of Justice and Solicitor General, and Edmonton Police Commission Chair Tim O'Brien.
The ceremony 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.
Graduates 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 and media are invited to join the recruits and their families and friends at the graduation ceremony.
