About Us

About the Ontario Special Constable Association

Founded in 2008, the Ontario Special Constable Association (OSCA) was created to be a medium through which Special Constables may share information, impart knowledge and build on the honour of their profession. In 2015, we officially became a registered association with the Province of Ontario giving us standing to lobby various levels of government.


The Ontario Special Constable Association’s vision is to build on progressive and innovative leadership and through that strengthen our professional standing in our role in the Law Enforcement community. OSCA shall promote the mutual interests of Ontario Special Constables, uphold the honour of our profession and strive to elevate the standards for Special Constables.


We will strive through progressive and effective leadership; to encourage cooperation and unity within our membership. Membership is comprised of Special Constables employed by services such a Transit, Universities, Public Housing and others. This is a challenge, but one we all feel must be met in order to create and maintain a proud profession.


OSCA is recognized as a progressive and innovative leader on issues relating to the existence and role of Special Constables in Ontario.
