查爾斯特大學

The Bachelor of Policing from Charles Sturt University (CSU) is intended for police, and officers in law enforcement agencies with a policing focus, to enhance their professional policing practice and knowledge.

Upgrade your knowledge and skills of law enforcement with CSU's structured content that is directly relevant to current policing activities across a wide range of jurisdictions and policing Specialties.

Course highlights

This course will prepare you to undertake independent critical reflection on policing policy and practice, and apply the results of research in policing to professional practice.

Learn at your own place and pace

The Bachelor of Policing is delivered entirely online, enabling you to carry out your study when and where is most suitable to you.

Develop critical skills towards building policing practice

The course content goes beyond the level of training provided through law enforcement organisations. It challenges you to critically and independently analyse your work practices and decisions, particularly in regard to current and emerging police practice. The ability to consider new options, and to gather logical evidence and support for decisions and actions, is actively encouraged. Those qualities are recognised as part of the rapidly growing expectations placed upon law enforcement practitioners by organisations and the communities in which you serve. The knowledge gained, and the wide range of abilities that are encouraged in the program, provide the opportunity for you to improve your professional capacity.
