The Justice, Community Safety & Emergency Services SHSM is designed to help students prepare and develop the skills necessary for pursuing careers in these areas. In these very competitive programs it is critical that students demonstrate a commitment to their community at large and a genuine concern for others. Post secondary institutions and recruiting officers are looking for individuals that have experiences and skills that set them apart from others.
