It is the first time the Force has sent officers to attend this development course in the Ontario Police College. They studied various useful topics, including leadership in action, project management, risk assessment and emotional intelligence, brushing up a lot their management and leadership skills.

Both officers have found the course highly rewarding, and brought back valuable experiences. They are impressed with the teaching style and the atmosphere in the classroom.

We gained a good idea of how countries with different cultures and backgrounds handle police work."
