The Owen Sound Police Service is currently accepting applications for three part-time special constable positions. These civilian support roles focus on essential community safety functions, including prisoner control and court security.
Special constables at the service are responsible for a variety of tasks, such as guarding and transporting prisoners, providing security for court facilities, serving legal documents, maintaining crime scene security, and obtaining DNA samples when ordered by the courts. These roles fall under the provincial framework of the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, which governs special constables across Ontario.
The positions are part-time with no guaranteed hours, and the department requires applicants to be available for at least two shifts per week. The work may involve occasional overtime.
Interested candidates should submit a resume and cover letter, referencing job number 2026-PS05, to the office of Chief of Police Craig Ambrose via email at [email protected]. The application deadline is April 24, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
Serving a community of approximately 21,612 residents, the Owen Sound Police Service employs over 50 civilian staff members. The organization has been a part of the city for more than 160 years and is currently led by Chief Ambrose, who serves as the 16th chief of the department.
