The Stanhope Conference is a national forum for sharing knowledge and best practices related to police training and the discussion of emerging issues hosted annually in Prince Edward Island.

CPKN hosted the first Stanhope Conference in 2007. Since that time, Stanhope has continued to evolve to keep pace with changing training needs within the Canadian police community. Each year's agenda focuses on emerging trends and covers topics related to training priorities in the Canadian police community as informed by our Network. 

Why Attend?

This year's conference theme is From Dial-up to AI: Two Decades of Collaboration, Innovation, and Evolution in Police Training.

This event will bring together innovators, training managers, practitioners, and decision-makers to explore current issues facing police services and identify innovative learning solutions.

The Stanhope Conference allows for learning, discussion, networking and more.
