Cst. Angelina "Ange" Atkinson is one of the 6 new recruits in Class #172.  Ange comes to VicPD as an experienced BC Deputy Sheriff, looking to expand her law enforcement career into the policing world.  She is a rare "home grown" Victorian, a graduate of Lambrick Park Secondary, the Camosun College Criminal Justice Program and also a graduate of the Greater Victoria Police Camp Program.

Ange is no stranger to training at the Justice Institute of BC, she completed her Sheriff training in 2019 and returned as an use of force instructor for the Sheriff Academy in 2023.  She is now halfway through her Police Academy training and really looking forward to her Block II field training in the streets of Esquimalt and Victoria.

Anyone considering entering the "recruiting process" at VicPD should listen to this episode - Ange's story of perseverance and commitment to  get hired is inspiring.  We wish her good luck in her new career!
