Apply for Nomination:

​

All candidates seeking admission into the Academy be recommended by a DNO Officer. Obtaining a nomination to the diploma program is a mandatory and an important step for your educational goals. The applicant will seek a leader with outstanding character and commitment to your personal responsibility in delivering excellence in public service. Being accepted for admission to the Canadian Criminal Justice Academy should be viewed as an exceptional honour reserved only the most promising leaders.

The Distinguished Nomination Officer (DNO) process will see a candidate obtain a nomination from a government, community leader, or emergency services professional. There is no requirement for the applicant to know the DNO Officer but rather express interest in the candidate’s success. It is recommended that you complete a cover letter to your nominating official explaining your education and career goals. It is anticipated that your nominating official will be invited to events, special presentations, and graduating ceremonies.
