“On the last day of my Police Foundations program I successfully completed my testing with the London Police Service. Within three weeks I was hired and things are going great.” – Mark K.

Program Overview:

Westervelt’s Police Foundations program, taught by active and recently retired officers, exceeds provincial training standards. It is operated similarly to a police academy, so you’ll be expected to wear a uniform and adhere to the daily regimen and discipline required of a police officer. This rigorous but safe, secure training will allow you to achieve your maximum potential during the Constable Selection Process testing you’ll encounter when applying to police services.

Career Opportunities:

Places: municipal police • provincial police • Royal Canadian Mounted Police • military police • transportation police • private police • Canada customs • correctional institutions
