Cambrian College's Police Foundations programs lend of in-class assignments, scenario training, fitness components, and community work complement topics covered by the Ontario Police College and assist in preparing students for potential employment with a police service. Extensive involvement in community initiatives, training with the Ontario Provincial Police, and participation in crime prevention projects with the Greater Sudbury Police Service offer students opportunities to network and volunteer within the community alongside working professionals. Further interaction with currently serving officers is provided as all local police agencies are represented within the program's part-time faculty.

Also, students theoretical knowledge will continually be put into practice in the program's scenario room where students are required to perform practical demonstrations, and various physical fitness courses and testing procedures that simulate industry testing are offered in each semester, providing opportunities to practice meeting requirements of applicant testing.
