As a probationary member, you will be training based on a standardized checklist of basic  skills and knowledge of our operations. You will be assigned a Field Training Officer who  will be your point of contact for any questions, comments or concerns you have and will meet  with you regularly to check in on your progress. You will have 90 days to complete this  training. At the 30,60 and 90 day marks you will meet with your  FTO  to review your  progress.

During your scheduled hours, you will ride as a part of the emergency response crew to  medical calls and perform basic assessment/treatment skills. You may sign up to do special  event details and public education booths or programs
