"Just wanted to give you an update.
Just received my badge from the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy on August 5, 2009 and am posted to Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw, SK and begin general patrols on August 24, 2009. Of the 24 graduates from my course I obtained the highest award for the course, graduating at the top of my class.
I would like to thank Northwest for the education I received. I found the Criminal Code and civilian side of law enforcement much easier with the education received from your course, allowing myself to focus more on the unfamiliar sections of military law.
Thank You, Take Care"

"I really enjoyed my time at NWLEA. It was here that I got my start in the Law Enforcement field and opened the doors for my career in the RCMP.
The RCMP Training Academy (Depot) is a very challenging learning environment and because of my education at NWLEA I had an easy time adapting to the courses they offer you there. Depot would have been a lot more difficult if I didn't attend NWLEA.
Out in the field on a daily basis I am utilizing the skills I learned at NWLEA, which I feel makes me a more rounded Police Officer as a result."

"While attending the Northwest Law Enforcement Academy I was granted enormous opportunity to excel in areas of: Police Defensive Tactics, Police Powers of Arrest, Criminology and Crime Scene Investigation.
The ability to communicate and develop as a uniform professional has assisted me greatly in achieving a goal and dream. Upon graduation I continued studies in EMR and took on a lead role as a supervisor with the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ Outreach Patrol.Staff and instructors at Northwest Law Enforcement Academy aided me in recognizing my skills, strengths and abilities."
Following graduation from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police DEPOT Training Academy, I was relocated to Faust, Alberta to police five first nations communities that fall under the Lesser Slave Lake Indian Regional Council. To date I have been considered for a position as a D.A.R.E instructor and work as a Teachers Aid on my days off in the community schools, always continuing to build on my strengths and recognize areas of improvement hoping one day to work in partnership with the United Nations and take part in a Peace Keeping mission."

"All the information I've been learning through APS is pretty much what we learnt at NWLEA so it is more of a refresher for me. I'm enjoying firearms, Police Defensive (PDT) and Police Driving Unit (PDU) ALOT! and Physical Training (PT) quickly showed me that you've never really worked hard enough on a run or competency until you are throwing up. (This was written as a Cadet at RCMP Depot.)"

"Hi
You interviewed me in Thunder Bay for the NWLEA and I graduated from the program with an Honours Diploma. The Academy was great. I learned so much in such a short period of time. Since then I have obtained my OACP Certificate of Results, and am in the process of applying to Toronto Police Service, and OPP. I have also passed my APCAT and CAAT for Alberta, and am in the process of filling out application forms for Calgary Police Service. The Academy was such a great experience for me. I just wanted to thank you for all your help through my application process with NWLEA, and give you a quick update on how things are going.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
Kyla Sweet"
"Hey Ms. Wellman,
If there any students that wish to speak to me in regards to the OPP or the Cadet program they are more than welcome...as a matter of fact, they can all email me and I can answer any questions...from Why is Mr. Minter so tough? to Why do we learn about cultural diversity?
The same questions I once asked myself...and now as I actually work in the field I realize everything is taught for a reason and it should all be well absorbed. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for the Academy.
Take care,
Stefanie Tobler
OPP Cadet"
"Hey Susan,
I successfully graduated my Customs training in Rigaud and am now working at the Emerson Land Crossing.
It was definitely a stressful experience, being away from family and friends, knowing that there was a PASS/FAIL component to the training, but the training I received from the Northwest Law Enforcement Academy helped boost my confidence and was a vital factor to my success.
Thanks,
Justin Rivard
Canada Border Services Agency
"Hi Susan and Staff,
I can't believe it, but I passed the RCMP interview !!
I know you've heard it before, but I'll say it again... Without the encouragement and support from the Academy, I would not be as far ahead as I am now. I'm so fortunate to have attended the Academy. My experience at NorthWest has played a significant role in fulfilling my dream.
Thanks again,
James Grandy"
