As a student at the APA, you will live in our Slemon Park residence for the duration of your program, except when you are away for on the job training. Living in residence will give you experience interacting with other cadets in a way that wouldn’t be possible if you only interacted with one another in an instructional setting. You will develop your team-work, problem-solving, time management and communication skills, and develop deeper gender and cross-cultural sensitivity, which are essential for a successful career in the public safety community.
