(St. John’s, NL), January 8, 2024 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is now accepting applications for its Cadet Training Program.

The ‘Find Your Purpose’ campaign includes video and photo elements of current serving members. The campaign puts a human face to policing and challenges the misconceptions of the job while highlighting the special traits of a good officer.

Members of the Recruiting Outreach Team will be visiting high schools across the province and meeting with post-secondary students to highlight the duties of a police officer.

In 2023, 17 recruit constables joined the RNC. Today, seven new experienced officers were sworn in as members of the RNC, while a class of 14 recruits started their training at the Atlantic Police Academy (APA).

The RNC application and selection process include written, oral, and physical components. Successful candidates will attend APA for 36 weeks beginning in January 2025. Graduates may be assigned to serve any existing regions (Northeast Avalon, Corner Brook, Labrador West, Churchill Falls) of the RNC or any other location that, in the future, may be within the jurisdiction of the RNC.
