Police Foundations

Diploma

“We stress a social justice philosophy in this program. We want students to realize that they are part of a large community, and their role within that community is to recognize and use the power they have to make positive change.”

The Police Foundations program is a two-year, four-semester diploma program which prepares students for careers in public or private policing. This program stresses both the law enforcement and human relations skills required to police modern, socially, ethnically and technologically diverse communities. Students will learn how to investigate criminal offences, to intervene in crisis situations and to model ethical and professional behaviour. Students learn the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed in the law enforcement field. Emotional maturity, good interpersonal skills, a strong desire to use creative problem solving and good leadership qualities will be needed to make positive change in our communities.
