Many private sector organizations are performing their own internal investigations into white collar crimes, employee performance and human resource issues. As police services and government agencies continue to experience cutbacks and move away from centralized investigative functions, more investigative responsibilities will shift to the private sector. This program helps students develop skills in interviewing, surveillance, civil and criminal court process, investigative procedures and research, and in the collection of evidence. Students will also gain an understanding of Canadian business structures, insurance industry fundamentals and loss prevention. Practicum Students will gain valuable experience in Year 2 doing unpaid field placement in the investigation industry, or in a related private or public organization.
