The Justice Institute of British Columbia • • • • • • • • • • ,. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • a • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Founded in 1978 under the British Columbia College and Institute Act, the Justice Institute of B.C. specializes in entry-level and advanced training for justice and public safety personnel. Widely renowned for its effective and innovative post-secondary training model, the Justice Institute provides educational services to numerous federal, provincial, and municipal government agencies, community organizations, and private corporations. Each year it registers between 30,000 and 40,000 students in over 1,500 courses, seminars, and conferences. Governed by a 12-member Board, the Justice Institute is funded through a minimum core grant from the B.C. Ministry of Skills, Training and Labour. It also holds training and service contracts with three other provincial ministries: the Ministry of Attorney General, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. The fastest growing funding sources for the Justice Institute are its numerous contracts with a variety of public and private organizations, and student course fees. To make its courses as accessible as possible, the Justice Institute offers contract and open-access tuition programs at its main campus in Vancouver, at three satellite training centres in the Lower Mainland, in regional centres throughout the province, and through distance education. In 1995 the Justice Institute will move to a new location at 715 McBride Boulevard, New Westminster. The new campus will cover an area of approximately 170,000 square feet and will have special features such as indoor and outdoor simulation areas, a telecommunication centre, an indoor firearms range, and a specialty library and media centre. • • • • • • • • Contents .

If you are interested in pursuing a career in this field, or if you are an employment counsellor who provides job search advice to graduates or to persons contemplating ·. a change of career, the Job Inventory is designed for you. By profiling 17 justice and public safety positions, the Job · Inventory accomplishes several important tasks: • It helps define the scope of the justice and public safety sector. • It provides applicants with specific information on what they need to do to improve their chances of securing a job in this field. • It presents a realistic view of the prospects for employment in justice and public safety. Scope Justice and public safety covers a wide variety of jobs, and much needs to be done to define its boundaries. The Job Inventory takes a step in this direction by focusing on jobs that share the following characteristics: ■ ■ • • • • Their main purpose is to contribute to the enforcement and administration of law and/or the maintenance and enhancement of public security and safety. • They are primarily public sector jobs on the provincial, federal, and municipal levels. (Some private sector positions are included, however, because they operate under contract to, or are regulated by, government agencies.) • They are entry-level jobs. (These are the positions that would realistically be open to applications from the public. Senior positions are generally filled through in-service promotions or transfers.) It is important to note, however, that a Career Path section is included in every job profile to give applicants an idea of the opportunities for promotion and advancement along each career track. A total of 81 career path positions are reflected in this catalogue. ■ • • ISSUE 1: 1995 ■ • ' o ■ • ■ ■ I ■ ■ ■ • • • • • • • o ■ ■ ■ ■ • ■ • • • I • • • ♦ I ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ • • ■ • ■ ■ ■ ■ • o o o • ■ ■ ■ INT-3 .INTRODUCTION ...........". . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . IUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY 10B INVENTORY The job profiles are organized in nine sections that correspond to various areas of specialization in the field of justice and public safety. These areas are: • • • • • • • • • Corrections Court Se1Vices Emergency Health Services Fire Prevention and Suppression Services Inspection and Enforcement Se1Vices Police ,Services Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Community Support Services Private Security Services While the reasons for including most of these areas in the Job Inventory are self­ evident, you may be wondering why community support seNices is part of this catalogue. The two positions profiled in this section-Child and Youth Care Worker and Community Support Worker-involve justice and public safety functions. Child and Youth Care Workers work with troubled youth in the community and in residential settings such as group homes. They help adolescents learn how to modify their delinquent or aggressive behaviour, deal with anger and stress, and resolve conflict without resorting to violence. Community Support Workers help provide safe home environments that allow persons with physical or mental disabilities to live independently in the community without posing a danger to themselves or others. Components of the Job Inventory JOB PROFILES The Job Inventory contains profiles for 17 positions ranging from Corrections Officer to Firefighter to Customs Inspector. These profiles provide the following information: INT-4 • Hiring ministry/agency Each job profile indicates the employing agency for the position and, where applicable, the level of government involved. Some positions-Police Constable and Firefighter, for example-are found in a variety of agencies. • Summary of duties The profiles describe the most important duties of each position and the working conditions and job environment in which these duties are carried out. • Application requirements The Job Inventory provides information on a number of application requirements, such as minimum age, citizenship status, physical fitness, and criminal record/ ISSUE 1: 1995 IUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY 1OB INVENTORY I • • • • ■ • • ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I I ■ I I ■ I ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I I ■ I I ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I I I ■ • • • • • • • ■ • ■ ■ • ■. I ■ ■ ■ INTRODUCTION ■ ■ ■ ■ • I • ■ I background checks. It also lists both the minimum qualifications and preferred credentials for each position. Minimum qualifications are those which an applicant . must possess to be considered for the position. Preferred credentials are those which give one applicant a competitive edge over other applicants and improve his or her chances of being hired for the position. • Salary lnfonnation on salary is generally expressed in amounts per year. In some cases, however, hourly rates are indicated. Entry-level hires for certain positions are employed on a call-out, on-call basis. This means that these employees are called to work only when their services are needed and are paid by the hour. - ��� J The profiles describe the career advancement opportunities for each position. • Data on hiring The Job Inventory indicates, wherever possible, the number of people hired in the profiled positions during the past fiscal year as well as the hiring projections for the next five years. JOB INDEX The Job Inventory also contains an index that not only lists the 17 entry-level positions but also covers 81 career path positions. If you are interested in a particular job but do not find it listed in the table of contents, check the index. The position you are interested in may be on the career path of an entry-level job profiled in this catalogue. ISSUE 1: 1995 INT•S INTRODUCTIOfll JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY JOB INVENTORY Taking the Nex't Step If you are thinking about applying for any of these jobs or are considering enrolling in an educational or training program to prepare yourself for it, learn as much as you can about the job. Determine whether you are genuinely interested in it and whether you have the qualifications and personal traits it requires. The profiles in this catalogue contain a significant amount of specific job information and can guide you as you explore the facets of the job you are considering. But employment requirements and conditions often vary from agency to agency, so you would do well to consult the employing agency itself (e.g., your local police or fire department, a community support services agency, a private security services company, etc.). Here are some points for you to consider as you gather more information about the job you are interested in: INT� • Find out more about preferred educational requirements and entry-level job conditions. ► Many job postings state minimum requirements of education, but employers may actually hire those who have more than the minimum. For example, Grade 12 with one year of post-secondary education is a stated minimum requirement for Police Constables, but most successful candidates have two to four years of post­ secondary education, and some have graduate degrees. ► Ask the employer whether the job is full-time, part-time, or paid on-call. Find out whether you will be required to live within a specified distance from the work site, whether shift work and/or weekend work is required, and whether the job involves a lot of travel. The Job Inventory provides information on preferred credentials and working conditions, but you may also wish to talk to specific employers to find out first-hand what they are looking for. The Job Inventory also provides a list of post-secondary educational institutions in B.C. to whom you can turn for career guidance services and information on educational programs. • Learn about trends. Some employers are shifting from training after hiring to training before hiring. In the first case, employees are hired and then trained at the employer's expense; in the second case, the applicant must pay for training before being hired. • Be willing to start at the ground level. Many of the senior positions in justice and public safety agencies require substantial experience. You must be willing to work at an entry-level job before you can be considered-let alone accepted-for a senior position. However, in some cases, promotion may come quickly to those who excel at their jobs. ISSUE 1: 1995 ..JUSTICE . . . . AND . . . PUBLIC . . . . SAFETY . . . . JOB . . .INVENTORY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . INTRODUCTION ......... • Consider whether, and where, you would be willing to move. Some positions are distributed far and wide around the province, and entry-level openings may require you to accept an offer in any part of B.C. Some federal government agencies may require your consent to move anywhere in the country before you are accepted for the job. • Get to know the hazards of the job. Some jobs in the justice and public safety sector involve a potential for personal risk of injury or death. Others may have higher-than-average long-term occupational risks related to stress or exposure to unsafe environments. Once employed in these types of positions, you may frequently have to face people in crisis, victims of crime and serious accidents, hostility, and threats. All the while, you will be expected to act with a high degree of professionalism. Your actions in a moment of crisis may have profound implications for yourself and others, and you may be faced with a probing analysis of your actions after the fact. • Be willing to get volunteer experience. Many employers prefer to hire from among those who have made a contribution in volunteer activities, especially those related to the type of work done on the job. Volunteer service provides a base of experience from which you can draw. It may also give evidence of your commitment to justice and public safety issues and concerns. • Be prepared for a background check. Many agencies will conduct background checks ranging from obtaining references to searching for criminal records to conducting interviews with neighbours and acquaintances. It is advisable that you clearly understand the extent of the background checks required for the job you are interested in. Once you have decided to apply for one of these jobs, contact the employing agency to obtain an application form. For example, for provincial government positions, you may contact the Personnel offices of the appropriate Ministry or the Government Agent in your area. For federal positions, contact the Public Service Commission. To apply for other positions, you may need to contact your municipal government or a municipal agency (e.g., fire department). Consult the Blue Pages of your telephone directory for the location and telephone number of these offices. . .... . . .................. .. ..... . ... . .. ... ... . .. . ..... . . ... . . .. . ....
