(St. John’s, NL) February 5, 2025 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is now recruiting candidates for its January 2026 Cadet Training Program.

To help expand its candidate pool, the RNC has updated application qualifications to remove post-secondary requirements. This allows for consideration of applicants who have other life experiences and increases consistency with other provincial and federal police agencies.

The RNC application and selection process includes written, oral, and physical components. Applications are reviewed as submitted and may be considered for any future classes.

Successful candidates complete a 36-week training program at the Atlantic Police Academy (APA) in Prince Edward Island. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates may be assigned to serve in any jurisdiction of the RNC.

There is currently a class of 17 RNC cadets undergoing training at APA. In 2024, 13 recruit constables were sworn in as members of the RNC, in addition to eight experienced officers.
