Hi. My name is Joe Hamlin, and I am the Chief of the Paramus Rescue Squad. I wanted to give you some information about joining the Paramus Rescue Squad.

Any resident of 1 year or non resident who is employed full time within the Borough of Paramus can apply for members. Out of town applicants must submit a letter from their employer allowing the person to leave work to respond to calls. Upon leaving employment and not meeting other residency requirements they must resign from the Paramus Rescue Squad

The requirements are that a prospective applicant come down 4 Monday night to see the operation of the Paramus Rescue Squad, familiarize themselves with our equipment and primary functions, and at the end of that time period the applicant would be issued an application to complete and return.

The application is then submitted to the Borough to be processed. The first step is to perform a background check thru the Paramus Police Department. Following their approval, the applicant is scheduled for a physical and mandatory drug test thru the Human Resource Department. After successful completion of this phase of the application process, the persons name is put on the next Mayor and Council public agenda for approval.  The member is then installed as a probationary member for a minimum of 1 year.
