About Us
As BC's only post-secondary institute dedicated to public safety professions, JIBC delivers exceptional applied education, training and research to advance our vision of safer communities and a more just society.
What we do
Established in 1978 by a provincial Order-In-Council, JIBC was created specifically to meet BC’s training needs for the province’s justice and public safety systems, including police, corrections, court services, sheriffs, firefighters and paramedics. Over the years, JIBC has expanded its scope and has been recognized through government orders as the provider of education and training for family dispute resolution professionals, security guards, gaming security officers, bylaw officers, and community care licensing officers.
In support of our vision of safer communities and a more just society, we also offer leadership, conflict resolution, and trauma-informed counselling courses, equipping professionals with essential skills to navigate complex challenges and foster positive change.

Advancing Reconciliation
JIBC is committed to supporting Indigenous learners and fostering Reconciliation by embedding Indigenous perspectives into our governance, policies, and campus spaces. By integrating Indigenous cultural safety into our programs, we aim to equip all learners with the knowledge to engage respectfully and effectively with Indigenous communities. Through our Office of Indigenization, JIBC aims to encourage and support more Indigenous people to join justice and public safety professions, building pathways for meaningful representation and leadership in these vital fields.
