go to post secondary for crim, get the degree, and then apply. BUT , from what i hear you need a LOT of volunteer experience, because they look into that very very very much lol The other route i was thinking off was just going straight into the justice institute in new west after high school and take police courses. just remember that you need a lot of volunteer in your resume before you apply for policing! sorry to emphasize that a lot, but everyone seemed to do so when they told me so i'm just sharing what ive been told haha

Just remember this when you do apply or think of applying. you need to be drug free for at least 3 years, if you have any connections/friends who are into the whole drug scene (whether its only weed or as hard as coke) they will find out who you hang out and will probably ask these questions when you are put under the lie-detector test. so be prepared to lose friends lol i decided some things i just couldn't give up (wow that sounds bad, its not LOL) or friends i couldnt lose, so i left that route and got into business.

ps : everything i said is what has been said to me by others who are either already in the force or are going through the requirements to be, but i could be wrong

by volunteer experience, does it have to be sort of related to police work or just volunteer stuff in general (like daycamp supervising lol)
