“Going through the LESD program gave me a head

start on my policing career. This program is unlike

any other. It offers very unique opportunities to

gain insight into the world of law enforcement.”

Chris Hudson – LESD Graduate Vancouver Police Department

Law Enforcement Studies

Diploma Program

The role of law enforcement in society is complex, sometimes dangerous,

often challenging, and always open to public scrutiny and comment. Today,

an increasing number of employees in public and private organizations are

called upon to perform specialized investigation, enforcement, and regulatory

compliance functions that complement those performed by police and other

peace officers. These public and private officials must address issues that are

increasingly more sophisticated, organized, and technically challenging than in

the past. The specialized law enforcement mandates and issues faced by these

officials require a knowledge base and set of competencies that are somewhat

different from, but generally complementary to, those required by police officers.

Market research suggests that job applicants will face a reasonable level of competition for employment in the broad field of law enforcement. As a graduate of the Law Enforcement Studies Diploma Program, you will be better prepared and more qualified to seek employment in a wide range of law enforcement, regulatory, and compliance fields. Completion of the program does not guarantee entry into a law enforcement profession. Border Services officers, police officers, correctional officers, probation officers, deputy sheriffs, and security professionals must all complete additional mandated training. Employers in other investigation, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies may have additional entry or qualification and training requirements. Nevertheless, we believe that completion of this program can become one of the preferred qualifications for such employment.

IE198 Introduction to Investigations for Home Share Coordinators

This three-day course has been uniquely designed by the Justice and Public Safety Division to better prepare home share coordinators to conduct an investigation. It is based on the understanding that home share coordinators have a role to perform in protecting: residents who are placed in a home share environment, home share parents, the home share agency and the coordinator themselves. The course recognizes the diversified community of individuals who are supported through home share programs. It was developed based on these values and the principles of inclusive community living.

Investigation and Enforcement

Skills Certificate Program

The Investigation and Enforcement Skills Certificate is designed for new and experienced investigators and those seeking employment as non-police professionals who engage in activities such as conducting regulatory inspections, monitoring for compliance, carrying out investigations, or engaging in limited enforcement activity. It is not designed or intended for those interested in a career as a police officer.

The certificate program consists of a series of core courses and elective courses. To successfully complete the certificate program a minimum number of 12 credits is required. Instructors are experienced professionals who reflect the most current thinking in the field. Graduates can immediately apply their newly acquired skills in the workplace.

The field of investigation and enforcement is constantly expanding and there are a variety of career options to choose from. Potential employers include a wide variety of provincial and federal government inspection, regulatory, investigation, and enforcement agencies. Private sector employment opportunities include in-house corporate investigators and private investigators. Program graduates have gone on to careers such as municipal and provincial government investigators, bylaw officers, private investigators, and Special Provincial Constables. In British Columbia, over 30 government and quasi-government agencies employ Special Provincial Constables under the BC Police Act. These constables have limited peace officer status to enforce statutes specific to their position. Most come to the Justice and Public Safety Division for part or all of their training.
