CADET:

joins without an EMT certification is a minimum of
nine (9) months. If you are joining with a current
EMT certification the minimum probationary period is
three (3) months. The probationary period is
designed to teach new members the ins and outs of
the organization such as the paperwork, equipment on
the ambulances and rescue truck, as well as the
policies and procedures of our organization.
