Do You Have Your CERT ID?

The Fire Department is going to require a "Live Scan" fingerprinted Background check for all members. The reason for this is that as a Disaster Service Worker under CERT, you will potentially have access to sensitive areas of the Police Dept, Fire Dept, and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

The Live Scan will be run through The Police Department. The way it will work is as follows:

1. Schedule an appointment with the Police Department at (714) 741-5953,
Monday through Friday from 8am-6pm.

2. Bring photo I.D.

3. Arrive 1/2 hour before your scheduled appointment to fill out "Request for
Live Scan” form. Fill out the first three sections.

4. There will be no cost to the member and the results will be sent to The
Fire Dept. Once your live scan has been completed and your background
check has cleared the ID cards will be issued.

If you have already had a live scan done please submit a copy of the paperwork to the Police Department.
