Reserving a spot
If you are interested in attending for the first time or as a refresher, please email Christine Greco. You must submit the Registration and Deposit Form, Wellness Information Form, Assumption of Risk and Release Agreement, and a $20 cash deposit to the Western Special Constable Service, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 1257 Lawson Hall to officially reserve a spot. You can also email the forms. These sessions tend to fill up quickly, so we recommend that you reserve your spot as soon as possible. (N.B. The $20 cash deposit will be returned to you once you have attended the course.) Once they have received enough applications to fill a session, you'll receive additional course details.
