The province is launching a new program to provide training for new correctional officers at a reduced price.
The partnership between government and the Atlantic Police Academy will look to boost recruitment efforts with $130,000 going towards 13 seats in the academy’s Correctional Officer Certificate program.
The program will begin next January at the Atlantic Police Academy in Prince Edward Island. The deadline to apply for government funding is Friday, August 11.
Application details are available on government’s website.
