Answer 1

Well in Ontario there are local police (city), Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).  There are also other types of law enforcement like Park Wardens, Border Officers and even private security agencies.  

Many colleges offer diplomas in Law and Security or you can get a degree from a University in Criminology or other social sciences like Psychology or Sociology.

Police agencies require you pass certain phycical tests to be eligible for hire.  Then you must attend their training course the RCMP have Depot and OPP and local use the Ontario Police College.

Good luck.
