Program and application related DOCUMENTS
Police officers keep the peace, protect people and property, prevent crime and enforce both criminal and civil laws. They reassure victims, arrest criminals and act as peacemakers or mediators. Police work is a career that demands maturity, courage and strong communication skills.
Our Police Technology program is challenging and diverse and prepares students for a career in law enforcement with police forces across Quebec. Police Technology students not only get classroom training, they also receive practical experience.
PRE-ADMISSION TESTING & ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PROGRAM
To qualify for the Police Technology program candidates must:
- Possess a minimum of a probationary driver’s license by the March 1st application deadline
- Possess an above average academic record
- Successfully complete a day of pre-admission testing
- Candidates MUST be functionally bilingual in French and English.
- Once conditionally admitted to the program, pass a complete medical examination in conformity with the requirements of entry to the École nationale de police du Québec (ÉNPQ).
Note:
Obtaining a “Certificate of Good Conduct” does not guarantee admission to the ÉNPQ. “…A candidate must not, from the time of application and until the end of his/her training, have been found guilty, no matter where, of any act or act of omission, that the Criminal code defines as infraction, nor of any of the infractions stipulated in article 183 of the said Code, and deriving from one of the laws referenced in the Code. This provision is interpreted strictly, no matter what the type of sentence returned by a judge (incarceration, fine, community work conditional discharge, etc.).”
