Diploma in Protection, Security and Investigation (PSIN)

Protect your community on the front lines and behind the scenes

We connect students to extraordinary learning experiences that inspire innovation and prepare our graduates for life and career success.

Using a streamlined, four-semester, continuous model approach, students develop specific knowledge and the skills necessary to meet the needs of various rapidly evolving public and private industries about safety and security. Areas of study include investigative techniques, intelligence assessment, understanding radicalization and extremism, crisis intervention, emergency management, physical security planning, leadership, and cyber security.

As a stand-alone program with areas of commonality between the Police Foundations and Community and Justice Services programs, students will acquire an overall understanding of the Canadian Charter of Rights, law enforcement, intelligence collection, the investigative process, mental health, crisis intervention, critical thinking, and analysis to develop specialized knowledge and skills that are in demand within public and private sector industries.
