Work with me a little bit, Jim! This can be a fun exercise. See what
you can come up with based on what I gave you so far.

Based on what you gave so far, those volunteers would be sworn in as
members of the Sheriff's Radio Reserve and given assigments to use
commercial equipment and departmental procedures on those frequencies,
similar in a lot of respects to CAP and MARS operation.

The local Sheriff's Deparment tried to do that when we (AREC/RACES)
approached them to be a "served agency". Because we were organized
and operational before that, we could tell them to play another tune
on their trombone because we report to the Emergency Management folks
some of whom are hams anyhow.
