Diploma in Policing and Community Safety

Policing and Community Safety is a two-year Ontario College Diploma delivered full-time and in person, with a hybrid option available, at Georgian College's Barrie and Owen Sound campuses. Students engage in academic and practical courses to develop the knowledge and skills demanded by Canadian police services and community safety agencies, combining classroom study with scenario-based and physical training components. Applicants must be physically and medically able to participate in strenuous physical activity, and a waiver is required. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles in policing, community safety, and related law enforcement and security fields.
