Fire Police Services
Fire Police are trained volunteer members of local fire companies who play a vital role in public safety. We undergo regular, free training to stay prepared for a variety of situations, including fires, traffic incidents, severe weather emergencies, and more. Our duties may be carried out in dedicated traffic units or our personal vehicles. Beyond emergency response, we participate in fire company meetings, assist with fundraising initiatives, and support community events such as car shows, carnivals, 5K races, and other local or mutual aid activities.
Our primary responsibilities include controlling traffic and pedestrian movement to ensure safety at incident scenes. We protect emergency medical personnel, firefighters, other first responders, their equipment, and the general public. In every situation, our mission is clear: to serve and protect.

After you are a member of the fire company, you will be nominated, confirmed by your municipality, and sworn in as a fire police officer. There will be courses and trainings to take either in person or online. Some trainings are required once, while others are refresher courses that need to be taken regularly.
