The membership process normally will take a minimum of 1 month post application submission. There is a required physical by our department doctor at no charge to you. Your name will be read at the meeting that will occur the first Tuesday of the month. Within that month you will go before the investigation committee which will conduct a interview with you. Upon completion of all these steps, and by committee approval you will then be a probationary member. After 6 months, a full member status is achieved.
