Please read the following before signing up for an Intro & Info Event, if you are interested in joining our team.

1. Background Check: Cal-ESAR operates under the direction of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Law Enforcement Division and as such all members must pass an extensive background check.
   • If you have *ever* been convicted of a felony you can not be accepted into our program. Please do not apply.
   • Gender identification does not affect the Cal-ESAR selection process, but the FBI background check requires a M/F gender selection.
2. Your physical location: Cal-ESAR is based in Northern California and as a practical matter if you live outside of the greater Bay / Sacramento Areas 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 there after.

RSVP

Once you find an Intro & Info Event (options above) that fits your schedule, please use this link to let us know you're attending. During Covid-19 restrictions we may not be able to admit you if you 'drop in' without signing up.

It helps us plan staff and seating at the events, and allows you to opt-in for reminders / updates, and to be notified in case we have to postpone on short noticed if we are called to respond to a search emergency.
