Probationary Membership Deposit Requirement

All applicants must submit a non-interest-bearing deposit of $100 in the form of a money order or certified bank check in order to be considered for probationary membership. This deposit will be collected during the applicant’s meeting with the Membership Committee at department headquarters and is not required at the time of submitting this online application. The date and time of the meeting for the formal application process will be distributed via electronic mail by the Membership Committee. 

The deposit shall be refunded only upon successful completion of the probationary period as approved by the membership at a monthly meeting. The probationary period may range from six (6) months to two (2) years, contingent upon the time required for the applicant to obtain clearance as an EMT and/or driver, as determined by the department bylaws. 

In the event that an applicant voluntarily resigns or otherwise removed from the department for failure to meet probationary membership requirements, the deposit shall be forfeited and will not be returned.
