Your application will be given to the Sheriff's department were they will run a background check to ensure you do not have a criminal record. The members will hold a vote on whether to you should join the group. If voted in, you will begin a probationary period that will last 6 months. During the probationary period, we expect you to attend searches, work parties, fund raisers and other events. During this time you will need to obtain a First Aid Card. After 6 months has passed and the members have seen your dedication and skills they will vote on whether or not to make you a full member.
