Stanhope Conference
October 7 - 9, 2025
Registration is now open.
The Stanhope Conference is held annually in Prince Edward Island, and is dedicated to sharing knowledge, best practices, and discussing emerging issues in police professional development.
CPKN hosted the inaugural Stanhope Conference in 2007. Since then, the conference has continually evolved to address the changing needs of the Canadian policing community.
Each year’s agenda highlights emerging trends and focuses on training priorities identified through insights from our Network.
This year's theme is "Emerging Trends, Stronger Partnerships: Advancing Police Professional Development across Canada".
Why Attend?
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.
