Becoming a part of the team.

     Becoming a part of the team can be challenging, but it is worth it. You will get to meet new friends and learn exciting skills. The process can be summed up in two basic steps. The first step is to work with a recruiter. The second is to attend orientation.
     When you work with a recruiter you will submit an application, fill out a Reid report, and take an interview. This is where in the process it will be decided whether or not you are accepted for orientation. Orientation is a weekend event where new recruits are given a wealth of information about what the department does and how it operates.

     After orientation is complete new recruits are placed in the Search&Rescue division as active duty personnel. They are also put on a 90 day probationary period. This is a time for new recruits to decide whether or not the department is right for them, and it is also a time for the department to decide if the new recruit is right for the department. Once the probationary period is over new recruits can pursue more advanced training.

We are looking for individuals who are energetic, dedicated, and self motivated. We need people who can think on their feet and who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. We want people who can learn quickly and show leadership capability. We want someone who knows about loyalty, duty, honor, selfless service, and integrity. And we want this person to volunteer.

Are you that person we've been looking for?
