Background check conducted by Utah County Sheriff's Office
- Membership is subject to the recommendation of the Utah County Sheriff's Office (UCSO) and the TERT Board.
- The UCSO will vet volunteers before they are approved for membership. The vetting process can take some time so be sure to apply early.
- Annual background checks - The UCSO conducts annual background checks for all members, new and existing. No new information or forms are needed from existing members. If you choose to opt out of this, you will opt out of serving with TERT.
Before "on the mountain" season starts, we hold two all-day training sessions in the spring.
New & current members are required to attend at least one of these sessions.
Indoor training
This session is usually held at the UVRMC Hospital in Provo.
We have a full day of TERT instruction and medical training. The hours may be used for re-certification. We cover various aspects of medical training, radio protocol overviews, and introduce our TERT team leaders.
Outdoor training
Voluntary dedication
It's essential to note that the work at TERT is entirely voluntary.
Our members generously donate their time, financial resources, personal equipment, and even their transportation to the trailhead.
You'll need to supply your own personal gear, including a backpack, clothing, food, radio equipment, sleeping bag, and more.
The expected commitment for the season is to spend two weekends on the mountain or three single-day shifts at Stewart Falls or early season trail head assignments.
