| Other than being a TBM Yellow Cap and
Security training, the general qualification required to be a member of the
Security Unit as a PATROL member is that you are able to walk on patrol for
several hours at a time. While there is ample time for breaks, most patrol members can expect to walk a patrol beat for a minimum on four hours and as long as 12 hours. The number of available members that respond to any disaster relief event will determine the number of members allocated to a patrol shift and the length of time of each shift. No one may be a member of the TBM Security Unit if they have been convicted of any crime greater than a class B misdemeanor. Prospective members may be asked to provide a valid criminal history to verify that they qualify to be a member of the Security Unit. Other restrictions may apply. Members will be expected to sign a waiver of liability when involved in any Security Unit activity. Members are advised to maintain individual health coverage for health related injuries sustained as a result of their participation in the TBM Security Unit. The function of patrol members is to provide security for our TBMDR volunteers with security at the disaster event staging site, provide security to the equipment each TBMDR unit brings to the disaster event, and to provide security for the food products the feeding unit may have to store outside in otherwise unguarded areas. |

| In the
past, logistics members we going to be assigned the duty of making ID card
and registering TBMDR members in and out at a disaster event. Today we find
ourselves having to rethink the duties of our logistics members.
TBMDR ID production was originally assigned to the Security Unit. This vision has changed and the Security Unit is no longer responsible for this task. While we continue to seek Logistics Members for future projects, we presently do not have a directive for these members. We will take applications for Logistics Members, however we recommend that you also seek another area of service with TBMDR to supplement your service to our Lord during times when the Logistics Members are not called to service with the Security Unit. No one may be a member of the TBM Security Unit if they have been convicted of any crime greater than a class B misdemeanor. Prospective members may be asked to provide a valid criminal history to verify that they qualify to be a member of the Security Unit. Other restrictions may apply. Members will be expected to sign a waiver of liability when involved in any Security Unit activity. Members are advised to maintain individual health coverage for health related injuries sustained as a result of their participation in the TBM Security Unit. |
