- [Marc] Here we have Buffalo Detachment, which opened in 1994. A large portion of learning within the CTP is scenario-based. This type of learning would not be complete without a training detachment. Buffalo Detachment operates like a real police station, complete with dispatchers. It is located within a mock townsite where civilian actors play suspects, victims and witnesses, making the scenarios very realistic. - It's now time to hop on the bus and head to the Integrated Training Centre. The ITC is the largest building on base and houses the firearms, police driving and simulation training units. During firearms training, cadets are issued their service pistol; this is the firearm they will carry throughout their career. They will learn the different laws and policies on how to handle firearms safely and efficiently and also spend time training on other firearms, including shotgun and carbine. - Have you ever wondered what police driving is like? It's harder than it looks! - [Hugo] Cadets focus on driving skills as they pertain to emergency vehicle operation. This includes handling at high speeds, collision avoidance and multi-tasking. We have both a road track and a four by four track on base so cadets get a chance to practice their skills on terrain that can be found all across the country. The reality of police work is that situations may escalate. Live scenario training can only take you so far and that's why simulation training is a vital part of the learning experience here at Depot. It allows cadets to participate in higher risk scenarios from the safety of a controlled environment. - [Sophie] Thank you for joining us today. Stay tuned for our next virtual tour video coming soon.
