Forrest Spencer, Executive Director of the Atlantic Police Academy, said he is pleased to re-establish a relationship with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.

“We are very pleased that the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has entrusted the APA and Holland »¢Ñ¨ÊÓƵto deliver cadet training for their new hires. This is the culmination of a great deal of work by many people. Our staff deserve the lion’s share of credit because, as a result of COVID, we were given the opportunity to train some new RNC officers.  That initiative went very well.  It went well because of the effort put in by the RNC students, and the quality of our instructors and the curriculum they deliver on behalf of the academy. The RNC is offering a very attractive training package to prospective officers, and we are extremely proud to be part of it.”
