Program details

Overview

This program provides general training for work in the various areas of private security, Canadian Border Services, Immigration, federal and provincial correctional services, by-law enforcement, Ministry of Transportation Enforcement Officers, Military Policing as well as other areas of policing. This program will appeal to students who are self-disciplined, with a high moral character. They must have good written and oral communication skills and the ability to analyze and apply legal principles. Students must also be willing to work in diverse communities and have good health and fitness.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires an OSSD with the majority of credits at College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) level, plus Grade 12 English (ENG4U, ENG4C, EAE4C or EAE4U). Mature applicants without an OSSD may write the College's admission tests. No programme-specific language score is published, so the institution-wide diploma-level English requirement applies: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, TOEFL iBT 60, PTE Academic 52, CAEL 60, CELPIP General 7.0 in each module, or Duolingo 110, within two years. Students must complete two physical-fitness courses (JUS 101 and JUS 201) as part of the programme, and applicants are advised to confirm they meet the hiring criteria of law-enforcement employers, since a criminal record can preclude employment in this field. Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges; international applicants through International OCAS.
