Advanced Investigations and Enforcement (AIE) - Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology's Advanced Investigations and Enforcement (AIE) 8-month program is designed to enhance and advance the knowledge and skills of individuals who have a diploma or degree in a relevant, criminal justice-related field who aspire to a career in private policing and investigations. The Program has been developed 'in consultation with the private policing and investigations industry,' and provides 'a blend of academic knowledge and practical hands-on training and application.' Among the major topics to be covered by the Program are Communications and Dispute Resolution Strategies, Corporate Communications, Corporate Crime Investigations, Counter-Terrorism - A Canadian Perspective, Emergency and Disaster Planning, Executive Protection, Firearms Safety and Proficiency, Officer Safety Practices, Photography and Surveillance, Private Investigations, and Supervisory Skills. Once students have completed the Firearms Safety component of the Program, they will be 'eligible to apply for their Canadian Firearms Possession and Acquisition License.'

Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to pursue various employment opportunities in both private and public law enforcement. These include police, private investigations, private police, security, and a myriad of 'other law enforcement and public safety organizations.' To be eligible for the Program, applicants must possess an 'accredited College or University diploma or degree from a relevant course of study.' The latter may include such disciplines as Criminology, Court and Tribunal Agent, Justice Studies, Law and Security, Police Foundations, among others.

Moreover, all applicants must have either an 'Ontario Grade 12 English (C, U, Advanced or General level) or equivalent, or Seneca College English EAC 150 or equivalent.'
