Over the weekend, Recruit Class #4 completed indoor Immediate Action Rapid Deployment (IARD) training. This specialized training prepares officers to respond to rapidly evolving, high-risk incidents where quick action and coordination are critical.

Through realistic scenarios, recruits strengthened their communication skills, practiced making sound decisions under pressure, and learned to work effectively alongside their fellow officers in dynamic environments. The Grande Prairie Police Service is grateful to Derek Taylor Public School and the Grande Prairie Public School Division for once again providing a safe and realistic setting for this important component of recruit development.

This exercise marks one of the final milestones for Recruit Class #4 as they prepare to begin serving the Grande Prairie community.

Attendance Tip: It's possible to make good attendance a priority for your family. Start by talking about why being at school every day matters.
