Program details

Overview

Techniques policières (310.A0) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that trains students for police work. According to the program page, the responsibilities of a police officer include maintaining peace, protecting life and property, and preventing and controlling criminal activity. Students learn to enforce regulations, gather evidence, and issue infraction notices, as well as to reassure members of the public and refer them to appropriate resources when needed. Coursework covers how the legal system functions, communication with diverse client groups, and intervention in emergency situations, along with criminology and the stages of a criminal investigation. Students also develop physical skills related to self-defence and conducting interventions safely. The page describes the program as practical, with numerous intervention simulations and frequent meetings with specialists from the policing field, and it notes strong employment prospects from the end of studies. It suits students interested in law enforcement and public safety who want a technical credential combining legal and investigative coursework with physical training and simulation-based practice.
