How long does it take to become a member? What is the application process like?
After submitting a request for application from this website, your initial inquiry will be reviewed by the membership at the next meeting night (first or third Tuesday of every month). You will then be provided with the full application for membership, where you will be asked to disclose some more background information about yourself. This application will be read at the next meeting night. You will then be interviewed by the Investigation Committee, and pending their approval, you will subscribe to an oath in front of the membership at a squad meeting. At that point, you will be a “probationary member” and assigned to one of our two Units (based on distance to your home and the needs of the squad). That process usually takes 1-2 months.New probationary members must complete squad and CPR training within the first 4 months of membership. During this time, probationary members may ride on calls as observers.
