Police Science Institute

What Police Science Institute does

Police Science Institute is an online educational institute founded in 2000 that delivers academic and practical training in police science, criminal investigation, and security subjects to a global student base. Originally established in Israel with approvals and recognitions from the Israeli Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Public Security, the company has since relocated its headquarters to Ontario, Canada.

The institute operates an e-learning platform offering self-enrollment programs typically running three to twelve months, covering eight specialized fields: Private Investigation, Criminal Justice, Criminal Profiling, Forensic Science, VIP Protection, Terrorism Studies, Aviation Security, and Air Marshal training, with practical training divisions extending into Anti-Kidnapping, Counter-Terrorism, and Maritime Security. Teaching staff are drawn from Israeli military, intelligence, and security service backgrounds, each bringing over 30 years of field experience. The institute maintains formal affiliations with the Police Congress and Professional Bodyguard to reinforce its standing within the global policing and security practitioner community.

The business model is tuition-based, with revenue generated through individual enrollment in certified academic and vocational programs rather than enterprise licensing or institutional contracts. Programs are priced as standalone certifications rather than degree pathways, and the platform is structured for distributed global individual learners rather than anchor enterprise customers.
