Having recently completed their EPS academic training, Recruit Training Class (RTC) 147 now moves into field training, where they will have an operational role supporting patrol divisions across the city.
While many in the class have backgrounds in law enforcement, there are others who made significant career changes to pursue their dreams of becoming police officers.
These include a former firefighter, a paramedic, helicopter pilot, soldier, construction manager, a systems analyst, an elementary school teacher, a stay-at-home mom, and an Edmonton Prospects pitcher, to name just a few.
Their diverse skills, education, and life experiences will help EPS continue to serve our changing and growing community into the future.
Graduating from RTC 147 are 27 EPS officers (17 male, 10 female), as well as one Lacombe Police Service officer (male) who trained with the EPS.
Members of the public are invited to attend the graduation ceremony where the new constables will be presented with their diplomas and recognition awards.
The ceremony features a formal procession by the EPS Honour Guard, performances by the EPS Pipes and Drums and the EPS Chorus, flag and marching drills, and comments from EPS members and special guests.
Participating in the graduation ceremony will be Chief of Police Dale McFee, Chief Lorne Blumhagen from the Lacombe Police Service, MLA Searle Turton, Mayor Don Iveson, and Edmonton Police Commission Chair Micki Ruth.
EPS Graduation Ceremony
Friday, Feb. 21, 2020, 1 to 2:30 p.m.
