Barry, can you tell me a little about the qualifications of the individuals you are looking to join the team and the time commitment that will be required. 

This sounds like an excellent initiative and I wish you well with developing the team. Developing a team like this helps build a sense of community and provides an excellent opportunity to meet folks in ones community. 


Our criteria for volunteers are as follows:

  • Must be at least 18 years of age
  • Submit a Police Information Check
  • Submit to a vulnerable persons screening
  • Have access to email 
  • Two-year commitment to the team
  • Valid drivers license
