Two important Notes:

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 please do not apply, you can not be accepted.
   • Gender identification does not affect the Cal-ESAR selection process, but the FBI background check requires a M/F gender selection.
2. 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.
