Police Foundations

At Seven Generations Education Institute, you will have the opportunity to explore an exciting profession in the law enforcement field from both inside and outside the classroom.  In the Police Foundations program you will routinely be involved in extracurricular projects with local and regional police agencies, giving you the opportunity to develop your experience in community volunteerism.  Canadore College and Seven Generations Education Institute will work in partnership with municipal, regional, provincial and treaty 3 police services.

 A combination of academic and skills training courses provide a solid basis of knowledge in most areas of human services and, particularly, in the working environment of law enforcement. 

 Program faculty have ample experience in the criminal justice field, primarily in policing, and are committed to the success of Police Foundation students.  The limited classroom size allows for faculty to get to know you and ensure that you achieve your academic goals.
