All current and future administrative members are required to have a criminal background check. It is the responsibility of each Volunteer Corporation to ensure these backgrounds are completed and to select which service provider to use.
In order to facilitate the process Chief Wolford has provided the following option for volunteer corporations. This is the same company that does background checks for County Parks and Recreation as well as other County agencies.
The fire department DOES NOT endorse any specific background check company. It only provides this particular one as an affordable option. All administrative volunteer members have until March 31, 2022 to complete and submit.
Completing the Background check process:

This completes the process to request a background check. When you receive your receipt and confirmation email, please ensure to keep a copy for your records and provide one copy to your volunteer organization. Keep in mind it can take up to two weeks for the Manager of Volunteer Services to receive results.
The results of the background check will be emailed directly to the Manager of Volunteer Services. If any member comes back with a criminal history the member will receive a notification. The Volunteer Chief and President of the organization will be copied on the notification. Next steps will be at the direction of the Chief of Department and the Volunteer Company leadership.
As stated in the beginning, this is not the only background check that is acceptable, companies are free to select whichever provider they prefer. That being said, it is the responsibility of each company to keep an accurate record of all admin member background checks in case they are ever needed and/or audited in the future. If a background company, other than the one mentioned above, is utilized for background checks then a copy of the completed background should be emailed to Antonio Alvarez, [email protected].
