We had a couple of interviews, background checks, financial checks, took physicals, and that was all the info that was checked prior to the job offer. In the next year and a half to follow, we received a number of different trainings. We have our own squads for patrol. We also ride with full-timers on a nightly basis. We have the opportunity to do everything that the full-timers do.
Traffic stops, general calls, report writing, gang survailance, tac team, drug busts, and so on.
The town really wanted to make an educated group out of us, and for the most part supports the auxiliary. Most of my experience comes from the trainings weve received, and of course - the school of hard knocks. I'll get an answer for ya. It may not be the right answer, but an answer none the less. I'll keep the site posted as I decide what course of action I'll take next.
