Police Foundations

Overview

Students engage in courses that cover psychology, criminology, the criminal code, the Canadian criminal justice system, youth criminal justice, contemporary social and community problems, community response to contemporary social issues, policing protocols, ethics and strategies, investigating and evidence, conflict management, justice communications and reporting, and careers in law enforcement. In addition, instruction in fitness and lifestyle management will teach you about the importance of health and wellness, as well as the fitness component of the Constable Selection Process.  

Your professors, who have work experience in the justice and policing sector, will help you graduate with a range of security, problem-solving and administrative skills, and with a commitment to social justice and service to your community. 

Graduates of the program will be subject to all requirements of the Ontario Constable Selection Process and local police requirements when applying for a position as a police constable in Ontario. 

While the Police Foundations program from Humber College does not offer a work placement, self-initiated community service opportunities will be made available to help broaden your understanding of the role of justice services within the community at large.
