Program description
Humber's Police Foundations diploma program, which is available full-time and online part-time, has a stellar reputation in the criminal justice community.
The curriculum of our program was established with the insights and expertise of members of the college's Police Foundations Advisory Committee to guarantee you obtain the knowledge and skills required to thrive in a justice-related vocation.
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 are all covered in courses. Furthermore, fitness and lifestyle management training will educate you the value of health and wellness, as well as the physical component of the Constable Selection Process.
Your teachers, who have worked in the justice and policing sectors, will assist you in graduating with a variety of security, problem-solving, and administrative skills, as well as a dedication to social justice and community service.
While the program does not include a work placement, self-initiated community service options will be made available to help you widen your awareness of the role of justice services in the larger community.
