What is expected of me as a CCSO CERT member?
Members of the CCSO CERT team will be volunteers and subject to background checks before being admitted to the program. After completing the initial
24-hour course, final exam and disaster simulation, CERT members will be organized into teams by neighborhood. CCSO CERT members will be expected to attend regular meetings to receive training updates and new program information.
What other opportunities with CCSO are available to me once I’m a CERT member?
For those who are interested expanding their service to the community, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office is proud to offer diverse volunteer opportunities for community member involvement.
CCSO volunteers have opportunities to work in a variety of capacities throughout the agency including patrol support, crime prevention education, issuing disabled parking citations, fingerprinting, administrative / clerical duties, assisting detectives, monitoring jail video visitations, translating, and chaplain services to inmates.
