OUR CURRENT RECRUITING OUTREACH HAS CLOSED FOR THIS OPERATIONAL YEAR. 

If you fill out the form, we will retain your information and reach out in FALL 2025.

Attendance at all info sessions and weekend training events is required and mandatory. We strongly suggest you reserve those dates on your calendar before you apply. We post the dates in the Application Schedule as soon as we're able to finalize them.

Special Notes: 

CALSAR is based in the SF Bay Area, and as a practical matter, if you live outside of the greater Bay Area, we are not the best team for you logistically. Our training program requires one overnight weekend a month (primitive camping) in the Bay Area from October through May and regular, ongoing physical presence thereafter.

CALSAR is part of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Law Enforcement Branch. If you have ever been convicted of a felony, that will come out during the mandatory background check and we can not accept you.
