About

The Police Foundations program at Algonquin College provides you with a foundational knowledge of the field of law enforcement. 

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

This Police Foundations program at Algonquin College offers instruction in:

  • police powers and procedures
  • community policing
  • investigation processes
  • diversity
  • ethics
  • communication

Curriculum includes both theory and applied lessons in law enforcement - helping you prepare for employment in the industry. 

  • While there is a strong theoretical aspect to this program, there are many opportunities for hands-on learning through in-class scenario situations and our fitness program. Outside the classroom, students are required to complete 35 hours of volunteering by the end of their first two semesters at an approved community based agency.
  • The program prepares you to apply for and be tested for employment in the law enforcement industry. 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.
  • Graduates of this program may find employment in municipal, regional and provincial police services in Ontario and the rest of Canada, Military Police Service, social service agencies or bylaw services. Graduates are encouraged to verify entry requirements with their choice of law enforcement agencies, as the requirements vary between agencies.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Canadian Criminal Justice System
  • Communications 
  • Political Science/Public Administration
  • Fitness and Nutrition
