RACECSBUL.255 DATE: Jan. 4, 1993
SUBJECT: MGT - Using volunteers in your comm center
Some smaller public safety dispatch centers and 9-1-1 answering
points need volunteers during peak and emergency loads. They are
typically trained during normal periods and pull regular weekly four-
hour shifts. This could be an ideal adjunct mission for your
communications volunteers in government service. Are any of your
RACES personnel willing to serve in this capacity? You might consider
recruiting additional interested and capable volunteers as your deputy
communicators. Whether or not they are licensed radio operators is not
relevant. Several jurisdictions have started such programs in light of
fiscal hardships. (Source: 1992 Joint California Associated Public-
Safety Communications Officers conference, San Luis Obispo, May 14,
1992.)
