Police Foundations - College Diploma
Northern’s Police Foundations diploma combines hands-on training with state-of-the-art technology to prepare you for an epic career in law enforcement. Based on the core principles of diversity and community service, the two-year program reflects the policing model used by forces from coast to coast.
The curriculum reinforces critical skills you’ll need on the job. Regular cross-training activities with paramedic and firefighter students prime you to be part of a wider interdisciplinary team. Plus, as part of a student platoon you’ll work out, and practice every phase of law enforcement with a single core group.
What’s more, thanks to Northern’s strong partnerships with law enforcement at every level – including the OPP, Timmins Police Service and Correctional Services – you’ll gain first-hand experience and critical networking opportunities with working professionals who regularly visit to recruit as well as those who work here.
