A 4x4 Response Group, what’s that then?
So you get to drive around with blue lights and siren?
So it’s really just a glorified taxi or courier service?
So why is this necessary, surely this is a job for the Civil Authorities?
How does it work?
Can the public call you out?
So to volunteer I need to be available all the time?
Social Activities? So it’s not all serious then?
So I need a fully kitted out Land Rover then?
For a start you don’t need a Land
Rover, all makes of 4x4 are welcome! And a perfectly standard model will still
have capabilities above a normal car. Passenger carrying ability is important
but vehicles like pick ups and Land Rover “hard tops” are not ruled out due to
their load carrying and towing abilities. This capability will be enhanced by a
number of items we would expect members to carry in their vehicles. However
these are no more than most 4x4 owners might carry on a green lane trip for
instance. Further details are provided to prospective members. Our responders come with may different makes of car including Toyota, Suzuki, Mistibishi and landrover.
Will it cost me anything?
So do you get any funding from government or elsewhere? |
