The program prepared me to enter a corporate work environment confidently and with the base knowledge that I needed to do my job well. I found TD through my placement and I have worked here for five years. In my roles as an Intelligence Security Analyst and now a Physical Security Risk Analyst, I continue to apply various topics that I learned in the program including the intelligence cycle, legal research, physical security threat and risk assessments (STRA), and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED).”

COMMON FIRST SEMESTER
Students in our Law and Justice Diploma programs take the same courses for the first semester. This common focus exposes you to a variety of career options and other programs, while you acquire a base of knowledge and fundamental skills which are common to all justice programs. Having the common first semester enables you to change direction if you find another justice program or career area is more appealing to you. If you decide to change from one justice program to another, you can enter the new justice program in semester two, subject to enrolment capacity. Having the option to change your mind gives you the comfort of knowing you have not lost any time or tuition dollars and you will be on track with your new justice program. The Law and Justice Diploma programs sharing the Common First Semester include Community and Justice Services, Customs Border Services, Law Clerk, Paralegal, Police Foundations, and Protection Security and Investigation.
“Through meetings with faculty during the common first semester, I learned about the field of Protection, Security and Investigation and the wide variety of career options available, and this really appealed to me. You can pursue all different kinds of opportunities including integrated security, corporate security or investigations, which is where I am now. In my role at Profile Investigation, I am responsible for administration in our investigations department.”
James Skinner, Profile Investigation Inc.
