Program Overview

The Bachelor of Law Enforcement Studies (BLES) is a highly sought-after program open to students who are focused on pursuing or advancing a career in law enforcement and public safety.

The program provides students with the in-depth knowledge, expanded skills and competencies to seek or advance employment in a wide range of law enforcement, public safety, regulatory and compliance fields.  

This includes people who demonstrate integrity, compassion, accountability and respect; have strong communication skills; embody a lifestyle that exemplifies fitness, health and wellness; demonstrate a desire to serve the public and represent their community, and have a clean criminal record.


Program Strengths 

An increasing number of employees in public and private organizations are called upon to perform specialized investigations, supervision, enforcement and regulatory compliance functions that complement those performed by police and other peace officers. These demands require an extensive knowledge base and set of competencies that this program can fulfill.

The program has been designed to deepen our student's knowledge of law enforcement and the Canadian criminal justice system, and further develop valuable transferable skills such as research, critical thinking, analysis and communication skills. 

Graduates who have gone on to a career in law enforcement and public safety include those that have either furthered their education to a post-graduate level or have been hired and received further on-the-job training to serve various law enforcement and security roles. These include jobs as police constables, bylaw officers, deputy sheriffs, correctional officers, investigators, probation officers, border services officers, and other peace officer and security roles across Canada.
