Meet Cst. Sarah Kaufman one of the 5 new recruits in Class #170.  Sarah is a former 5X World Bantamweight MMA Champion, she had an impressive 17 year career in the MMA fight world.  Sarah originally went to University to become a cardiovascular surgeon but later decided that working in a laboratory wasn’t going to be for her.  During Sarah’s fight career she spent a lot of time teaching young kids martial arts skills to help them prepare for life!
Moving to a policing career became the new challenge for her and with her self-confidence and need for structure and upholding rules she committed to getting hired.  Sarah has a great attitude and arrives to VicPD as a mature recruit with lot of life experience.  Police use of force training has evolved over the years and due to the increase of MMA training amongst the general population, police officers need to be properly prepared.
Sarah is looking forward to a diverse policing career but admits she’ll never be a K-9 handler!  In her spare time Sarah is an avid jig-saw puzzler and enjoys the challenge of difficult puzzles.  Sarah will continue to participate in the BC Law Enforcement Memorial “Run to Remember” and encourages others to join her on Saturday 23 September for the last 11 kilometers in support of Fallen Police Officers.
