Wanting to become a SC Constable

[DixieGrl29]

I am looking into becoming a constable...Does anyone have any info they could share with me? I'm just wanting to find out about the classes you have to take and the cost of it all. Any info will be greatly appreciated!!! I've had the chance to become a police officer, but dont want to give up the job I already have. I have always been interested in law enforcement, and think becoming a constable will be a new and rewarding experience for me.
Thanx for the info in advance!!

THE ONLY LEGAL ADVISE I CAN GIVE ON BECOMING A CONSTABLE IS GO TO THE DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY WEBSITE, THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. I ALSO THINK YOU HAVE TO BE AFFILIATED WITH A DEPARTMENT SUCH AS A SHERIFF OR A TOWN DEPT. LOTS OF LUCK .. WE NEED MORE OFFICERS

Look within the local agency that you live in and check out their Reserve Officer program. It shouldn't cost you anything but time to attend classes.
