Filling out the registration form does not guarantee your registration will be approved. Registration is on a first come, first served basis.
The form will allow 21 individuals to register; however, only the first 16 approved will be able to attend. The remaining 5 slots will serve as a wait list in case of cancellations.
- If your registration is approved by Uniform Recruitment, you will be sent additional information. If you are approved but are on the wait list, you will be informed accordingly.
- If your registration is not approved, you will be informed accordingly. Only those whose registration has been approved will be permitted to participate.
Those who show up without registering and receiving approval will not be permitted entry into the session.
Please only register if you are certain you will be able to attend on your chosen date and time as capacity is limited to 16 people per session. If you register and do not show up for your session without a valid reason, you will be ineligible for participation in future sessions. Your missed session will also be kept on file and referenced in any future job applications with SSMPS.
