RICHARD,
THE ARMY IS ALL VOLUNTEER SO IS RESERVE DEPUTY AND VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTERS JUST BECAUSE YOU VOLUNTEERED DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM TRAINING EVEN LITTLE LEAGUE WONT LET YOU PLAY IF YOU DON'T TRAIN
WASCO COUNTY SHERIFFS SEARCH AND RESCUE WITH WHICH I VOLUNTEER HAS HAD SUCH PROBLEMS AND SOME WAYS WE DEALT WITH IT IS X PERCENTAGE OF TRAINING CLASSES IS REQUIRED TO BE OF ACTIVE STATUS YOU CAN RESPONDED TO A SCENE BUT YOU CANT GO INTO THE FIELD BASECAMP DUTY IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO SPEED THERE IS AFTER ALL INSURANCE AND LIABILITY CONCERNS," WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEPUTY IS IT POLICY WITH YOUR GROUP TO ALLOW UNTRAINED PERSONNEL IN THE FIELD TO ENDANGER VICTUMS AND TEAM MEMBERS YATA YATA ALOT OF LAWER TALK AND....
OREGON REQUIRES BASIC CERTIFICATION OF SAR PERSONELL AND YEARLY TRAINING TO RETAIN THAT CERTIFICATION PLUS ONGOING TRAINING IN WHAT EVER SPECILTY YOU MAY GO INTO ( I AM A TRACK AWARE TRACKER AND A FIRST RESPONDER MED TECH) SO YOU NEED A TRAINING SCHEDUAL THAT IS POSTED FAR ENOUGH AHEAD SO PLANNING CAN BE DONE TO ATTEND THE CLASS SHOULD BE PART OF AN OVERALL TRAINING OBJECTIVE IE... HERE IN WASCO COUNTY WE DEAL WITH SWIFT WATER RESCUE ALOT AND YOU NEED TO ATTEND THE CLASS AND THE SHORE BASE CLASSES TO BE ON A SWIFT WATER SCENE AND DO MORE THAN SUPPORT .
THERE ARE ALSO THE INCENTIVES OF IF YOU ATTEND X AMOUMT OF CLASSES YOU CAN EXPECT TO RECIEVE TRAINING AT PROFESSIONAL CALSSES AT OFF SITE LOCATIONS AT UNIT EXPENSE IE... I HAVE ATTENDED 2 CLASSES GIVEN BY UNIVERSAL TRACKING SESVICES AND MANY OF OUR MEMBERS HAVE GONE TO HIGH ANGLE, SWIFT WATER, AND SEARCH MANAEGMENT CLASSES TO NAME A FEW. YOU CAN ALSO AWARD UNIFOM PATCHES TO DENOTE SPECIAL CERTIFICATION IE... TRACKER,FIRST RESPONDER,SWIFT WATER RESCUE,HIGH ANGLE ROPE RESCUE,...
THE DOWN SIDE YOU DONT TRAIN YOU DONT RESPOND YOU DONT VOLLENTEER FOR SAR JUST SO YOU CAN SAY YOU ARE IN SAR AND SHOW UP AT THE SCENE OF A INCEDENT AND BECOME A LIABILITY,GREAT YOUR HERE SO WHAT CAN YOU DO IF I HAVE NOT TRAINED WITH YOU HOW CAN I TRUST YOU.
