Examples of Group 1 Constables are university police officers, airport police officers. Group 2 Constables are honorably retired law enforcement officers. Group 2 constables may choose to work in law enforcement but are not required to. Group 3 Constables are sworn police officers that volunteer their time and are not paid. Their service is similar to reserve officers but with Statewide authority. Group 3 Constables may be requested by any chief of sheriff in South Carolina and can do most law enforcement activities. Basic Group 3 Constables must work in close proximity to a certified officer and Advanced Group 3 Constables can work autonomously. Advanced Group 3 Constables have more training and work requirements. All State Constables are commissioned by the Governor. The SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED) provides regulation and oversight for this program, which was created to provide quality manpower assistance to State, county and municipal police agencies during routine patrol, special events, and natural disasters. SLED is responsible for developing statutory and regulatory guidelines for this program's selection, training, and overall operation. For more information go to http:/www.constables.sled.sc.gov

It is a lot easier to meet someone like a nurse who understands the long hours, shift work, stress, etc.
