Hey, thanks for posting this! The classes are Tuesday nights from 7-9 at the Public Safety Complex. Tonight is the second class (I just found out about this today, here) but the guy I spoke to on the phone said they would catch people up.

It sounds like they are doing the training course and then asking looking for people who would like to go further and become a part of a volunteer infrastructure. I'll post a follow up after tonight's class.

Cheers, Alex
