We propose a National Centre for Policing Excellence
C-CPR believes a National Centre for Policing Excellence is the best route forward towards better police education. The centre would work towards a national standard for education and eventual certification criteria for Canadian police officers.
We established a Working Group in May 2024 to create a proposal for the establishment of the National Centre for Policing Excellence.
