New Semester, New Opportunity: Build Real Experience in the Field You're Training For

For decades, Commissionaires Ottawa has hired hundreds of individuals from Police Foundations, Criminology, Law and Security, Correctional Worker, and Community Justice programs — many of whom went on to careers in policing, corrections, and law enforcement while working with us, or afterward.

If you're interested in a career in law enforcement or public safety, this is where you start building the experience that sets your application apart.
