FREQUENT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

• Do I need prior experience? No, all training and equipment will be provided.
• Do I have to live in Scituate to be a member? While many of our members live in the surrounding community, we accept members outside of Scituate.
• Is there an age requirement for membership? Our Junior program starts at 14 years of age, while full membership starts at 18 years of age. Junior members are issued gear and are held to the same training standards, but hold limited capacities during emergency incidents. This program allows Junior members to train and gain experience, while keeping them in a safe environment.

In addition, members are encouraged to attend our department meeting held the third Wednesday of each month at 1900 hours/7PM. Finally, members are required to maintain and perform at a high training standard. Our weekly company training and classes are Wednesday at 1900 hours/7PM. Additional impromptu training are nightly and during weekend days.

This can be obtained by the Attorney Generals office or your local police department. Instructions through the Attorney Generals office can be found online here: http://www.riag.ri.gov/BCI/index.php
