What's your role for in the Jeep unit and like Thank you Hey, my name is Corporal Madden and I'm the Jeep unit coordinator for the Sheriff's office The Jeep unit is comprised of volunteers Both local the Pasco and surrounding eight surrounding counties, but but it's built on Volunteers and the their willingness to help out the citizens of Pasco County One of which is Jenna and she's gonna share some great information with you Boom Jenna, so it's not it's not anyone if you want to drive your Jeep and spend that gas money You can be a part of the Jeep unit. That's true. Okay, boom. All right now I'm just gonna turn that book say say goodbye to ours. Say say bye. You're welcome. I got you out so quick All right, Jenna tell us some more and for each I guess start off with first of all, how do they join? So to join the Jeep unit, there's an application on the Pasco Sheriff's Office website So you go online and you print it out fill it out bring to the Pasco Sheriff's Office off a little road Center and then They'll call you back a few weeks later to have your fingerprints done. Okay So you're so cleared and everything you still have to go through the whole process if you want to volunteer. Yeah, okay So after you do your fingerprints, they'll take a picture for your badge and then after that they'll call you back There's a bad. I'll call you back and Talk to you some more about the Jeep unit make sure you understand what we're gonna do and make sure that You actually want to do it and you're gonna be a good fit with the unit. Okay, so what exactly do you guys do? I know it's quite a lot But what do you do besides be awesome in parades and show off your dope vehicles? Well, we do search and rescue. That's our main function Okay, whenever we're not busy during sir doing search and rescues. We do a lot of community events We like to do touch of trucks within the community. They're so cute That's where we open up the top and doors on the jeeps and let the kids or other members of the community Go check them out. A lot of them. Haven't been able to exactly that opportunity Other than that, we do a lot of parades with the sheriff's office Any kind of community event at the sheriff's office needs help running one of their events we go assist Okay, and we do a training every month to keep our members involved and we're always Constantly training to keep ourselves ready and prepared for when we do have those call outs and search and rescue What what are the trainings? I feel like I've seen like past footage of the trainings But it's like you guys are going up hills You're going into ditches to try to like figure out how to pull yourself out or someone else gets stuck How you can utilize the jeeps to help with that am I wrong? No, you're right Okay, we do that we also try to vary our trainings. We do training in first aid TPR Then we do vehicle recovery, which is when you get the jeeps stuck and try and pull them out and Search and rescue techniques And we do a lot of playing in the woods. I love I I've heard I've heard that's why I have not taken a trip out there I don't mind the woods don't mind got on the right boots. You're good. That's awesome Okay, so how long have you been a member? I've been a member over a year and a half Wanted to join right when they started the jeep unit, but I wasn't old enough yet I had to wait for my 18th birthday. Okay, so you have to be 18. Okay. Okay. That's really cool I'm gonna think what else could the people want to know about guys? I think it goes without saying but you should probably have a jeep if you want to be a part of the jeep unit If you don't have a jeep, I feel like there are plenty of other volunteer options at the agency for you. Boom. Yeah, what else is there? That's pretty much it. Yeah, that's the gist of it boom and in a quick short nutshell I think that this would be considered a nutshell. That's the jeep unit. I Will put the link below in the description for all of you if you are looking to volunteer Or if you have questions about it, or you just think it's cool or want to see more I mean, let me know if you'd like me to go out to a training with them What I do know This is probably not important for any of you But our Corporal Madden when he sends out the is it a weekly newsletter or monthly newsletter? I don't know, but whenever he makes his post he likes to put a dad joke at the top because he thinks he's lairious And we all know how I feel about that. It's a little things. I Technically won that joke off but Jenna, thank you for spending time with our viewers and I hope you have fun I did. Yeah, boom. Like this video.
