Uniforms & Auxiliary Manual
Training will be communicated to you as you begin your membership. Many topics on this and other requirements are discussed in the Auxiliary Manual which also reviews Uniform Protocols.
First, we are introducing you to the often-used list of acronym's for your studies. You will have much training as an Auxiliarist. However, many of the subjects are easy to understand ... and also depend on your area of interest.
Your training and links will be provided to you either by your human resources contact or a mentor that may be assigned to you.
