The facility was accredited by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to design and deliver specialized police courses.
The facility was opened in 1977 and was located at 4620 Finch Avenue East in Scarborough and consisted of 14 classrooms, 2 computer labs, a range, pool and gymnasium.
The college was named after Judge Charles O. Bick, founding chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Commission.
The facility closed in July 2009, and was replaced by the new Toronto Police College located at 70 Birmingham Street in southern Etobicoke.
The building was last used by a private school, Ontario International College, for a brief period after the police vacated the premises.
