Effective immediately we have implemented a standardized procedure for registering for all of the Search & Rescue Courses hosted by Volunteer Forces (BSAR, BMC, PVS, TRBC, etc). The procedure will mirror the process that has been used for years to register students for the Basic Search & Rescue Academy. The student will fill out the SAR Course Registration Form and forward it along with a $50.00 check to Volunteer Forces. The $50.00 check will serve to hold the student's spot in the course. The $50.00 check will be returned when the student completes the course. This standardized process along with posting the dates of the trainings 12-18 months in advance will help Volunteer Forces better plan for training needs and schedule instructors.
The SAR Course Registration on the DOCUMENTS page.The dates of all of these trainings through the end of 2010 are currently posted on the calendar.
NOTE - NEW MEMBERS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY TRAINING UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY SWORN-IN (they are not sworn-in until they have received their Orders and Sheriff's Identification Card). Please do not have new members attempt to register for a course before they are fully sworn-in, their paperwork will not be processed.
Please contact me if you have any questions,
Cpl. Dan Whitten
