Our centre offers the latest technology-based learning environment for crime scene and criminal investigation along with justice leadership and conflict resolution training. Humber’s “CSI” centre features a crime scene investigation studio, an evidence processing lab, interview rooms and state-of-the-art forensic equipment.
     
    You will learn from faculty renowned in their field with current, relevant experience and advanced degrees, who are strongly committed to your success.
     
    The Protection, Security and Investigation program will provide you with practical, integrated learning experiences and a body of knowledge that will equip you to perform competently, effectively and safely upon entry into the protection, security and investigation fields. This program is designed to meet both public and private sector demand for graduates who have entry-level job skills, sufficiently specialized expertise in protection, security and investigation, as well as adequate knowledge of the criminal, youth criminal and civil justice systems in Canada.
     
    Through a variety of experiences, you will achieve a basic grounding in protection, security and investigation. You will develop and have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to handle public relations, resolve conflicts with others in a competent manner and act justly and appropriately when working with diverse populations. This program will also equip you to use protection, security and investigation techniques and technologies to accurately monitor, assess and document behaviours, situations and events, and to collect, preserve and present admissible evidence.
     
    You will be ready to apply relevant social ­science and criminology theories to real-life situations; carry out duties safely and ethically; communicate verbally, electronically and in writing; work effectively in a team environment; and comply with current legislation, ­regulations, standards and organizational policies.
