As discussed at the February 22, 2022 WEARS online Business Meeting which was attended by Scot Graham, Chief of Marguerite Fire Department, Unity Township is now requiring WEARS volunteers who wish to be available for deployment to have Childline and Criminal Record Clearances. These are free and available online. Here are the links:
