   2. Read or listen to the Radio Policies and Radio Use (if you can't read the policies we can read them to you)
   3. Ask any questions you have about radio policies or usage. Staffer may quiz you before checking out a radio to you. Either way it is YOUR responsibility to understand the policies and usage procedures.
   4. Initial the form to check out your radio (staff member may have you fill in your badge and date/time information or do so for you at the discretion of the staffer)
   5. Follow all Radio Policies and use them correctly per the Radio Use documentation
3. If there is no one checking out radios
   1. Find someone who is authorized to check out a radio, or wait until later
   2. If you have to wait you can fill your time with reading the Radio Policies and Radio Use documentation.

For the staffer checking out radios:

Checking Radios Back In

   1. Give the person your radio
   2. Give your radio number and badge number
   3. Let the staffer know if there are were any issues with the radio
3. If there is no one available:
   • Find someone or wait until later. Do not just leave your radio. You are still responsible for it. Until we can officially check it in.

For the staffer checking in radio:

1. Find the radio on the form using the number on the radio
2. Make sure the person returning the radio is the person who checked it out
3. Ask if there are any issues with the radio
4. Write the date and time the radio is returned on the form
5. Make sure the radio is in good condition
6. If there is anything to note about the radio, do so on the back of the checkout form (or on some white or yellow paper - there is no form for this but a yellow pad would totally work)
