EPS graduation news: In 2026, EPS announced new recruit graduations, with 45 recruits in RTC 164 graduating in March 2026 at City Hall, marking another step in bringing fresh officers onto the force. This continues EPS’s pattern of regular recruit graduations and field development for new officers.[2]
Graduation context: Earlier in 2025, EPS and partner agencies celebrated the graduation of 42 officers at a City Hall ceremony, highlighting the ongoing intake of recruits from diverse backgrounds and the emphasis on real-world training. This aligns with EPS’s recruitment and training strategy to meet city policing needs.[1]
Recruitment trends: EPS has reported rising applicant numbers and improving recruitment outcomes, with high class success rates and substantial diversity within recruit classes, signaling a strengthening pipeline into the EPS.[3]
Additional context: EPS now frequently highlights events and outreach (60+ recruitment events in 2025) and ongoing modernization of the recruitment process to attract a broad, representative applicant pool.[3]
