What is the Justice Institute?
The Justice Institute of British Columbia is a post secondary educational organization that provides training and education programs to people working within the fields of justice and public safety. The majority of people trained at the Justice
Institute are employees of RC:s Corrections, Court Services, Police, Fire and Emergency Health Services.
In addition to the programs contracted for by the Academies at the Justice Institute, a range of interdisciplinary and
public programs are offered through the Extension Programs branch to professionals, community agencies, and interested
citizens. These programs provide a forum for the discussion of justice and public safety issues, information and education
on RC:s justice and public safety system, and training to increase participants' skills on the job.
Extension Programs staff initiate programs or respond to requests based on specialized needs. Projects are either sponsored solely by the Justice Institute or developed in conjunction with other organizations. Some programs are held at the
Justice Institute; however, staff have a provincial mandate and work co-operatively with other groups to organize
programs throughout RC.
Schedules for Extension Programs are produced three times a year {September, January and April) and distributed to a
cross-section of people interested in justice and public safety.
