KRPF Cadet Sponsorship FAQs
The Cadet Sponsorship Program is designed for applicants without previous police training. Review the common questions below before preparing an application.
What are the entrance requirements to the KRPF Sponsorship Program?
The entrance requirements follow two processes: the KRPF Hiring Process and the Atlantic Police Academy admission guidelines. Review both sets of requirements before applying.
If I have already applied, can I apply again?
Applicants previously unsuccessful at any stage, except Aptitude Testing, must wait one year before reapplying. Aptitude Testing may be repeated after three months.
Can I reuse documents from a previous application?
Documents must be current within one year of the course start date. Criminal Record Checks and any other specifically time-limited documents must be current within six months.
What if I cannot see my GP or optometrist before the deadline?
Initial packages may be accepted without completed medical and visual forms when confirmation of pending appointments is included.
Can I submit only part of my application?
No. Complete application packages are required, except for medical and visual forms when proof of pending appointments is included.

Can I submit a Criminal Record Check from last year?
No. A Criminal Record Check must be less than six months old.
Where can I get a copy of my Driver's Abstract?
A Driver’s Abstract is available through Service New Brunswick or the applicable provincial motor vehicle department.
What is a PARE test and where do I take one?
