Bombs, police dogs and forensics – local high school students are at the Burnaby RCMP youth academy this week learning about the different career paths policing has to offer.
Burnaby high school students are getting a taste of what it would take to pursue a career in law enforcement this week.
By the end of the five-day camp Friday, local Mounties will have taken them through daily fitness and drill classes, including police defence tactics, as well as presentations from a variety of special police units, including the police mental health and outreach team, the police dog service, forensic services and the provincial explosives team.
The final day Friday will see the students do a drill performance for their families before being awarded certificates. Moscrop Secondary School Grade 11 student Angela Qin said she found out about the camp from contacts she made volunteering at Burnaby RCMP's summer soccer camps for kids.
