Your first step in preparing for a career in law enforcement.
The two-year Police Foundations Ontario College Diploma program, delivered in a compressed format over 42 weeks, provides you with a foundational knowledge of the field of policing. Curriculum includes both theory and applied lessons in law enforcement - helping you prepare for the workforce. This program offers instruction in:
police powers and procedures
community law enforcement
investigation processes
diversity
ethics
communications
While there is a strong theoretical aspect to this program, there are many opportunities for hands-on learning in both labs and scenario rooms. There are various activities outside the classroom, such as community volunteering opportunities, and program-related initiatives.
The program prepares you to apply for and be tested for employment in law enforcement. As fitness is an important part of a career in law enforcement, you use an on-site fitness facility to prepare for physical fitness tests required by law enforcement agencies. In addition to your work in our fitness facility, you establish and maintain your own exercise schedule.
There are a number of potential job opportunities for graduates of this program in areas such as:
municipal, provincial or federal police services
military police service

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
