The Government of British Columbia has approved two new police training sites in Vancouver and Victoria, which will be overseen by the Justice Institute of British Columbia. These new satellite sites have been initially approved to operate for two years to help address BC’s increased demand for training. This will offer space for the Victoria Police Department and recruits from other police departments in south Vancouver Island, while the Vancouver site will offer space for the Vancouver Police Department. In addition to overseeing these sites, JIBC will be expanding its training capacity at its Police Academy in New Westminster, from 96 to 144 seats in each of its three cohorts starting in May.
