Employee Volunteer Drug Testing and Background Checks 
Part 3 of 3 Background Checks

Yes we need to do back ground checks on all personal. If someone is a known bad guy in the area, and we know who they are, does it matter if they pass a background check? 

If someone committed a crime 20 years ago then what? Say they were convicted of stealing a car at 19 years old, they're 50 now and they've been a good citizen living in the area for years, why wouldn't you want them as a volunteer? 

How far do back ground checks go and what gets included? If someone was accused of molesting a child 20 years ago and wasn't convicted, then what? 

My son-in law molested a young girl here in Mohave County, twice. It was plea bargained and lowered and lowered even though the girls father said he would do it again. READ the MCSO Report He was finally convicted of indecent exposure. Read the report, having this lowered to indecent exposure will piss you off. 
Convicted or not would you want him as a firefighter?  

When considering someone as a volunteer for the LMRFD we need to do background checks, but the bottom line is what kind of person they are as a neighbor, and would you want that person's help in an emergency? 

We need volunteers everyday for fire and EMS calls, but my real fear is that in a major disaster or event where Dolan Springs was cutoff from outside help we would be left with the 2-3 firefighters stuck here at the time. With no volunteers trained in fire and EMS services Dolan Springs residents would be in trouble.
