Waiver and Release of Claims and Indemnity Agreement

WHEREAS, I have made the voluntary request to participate in the sit along program, and be a guest of the dispatch center, and sit with a member of the Communications Department during the performance of their official duties. I am aware the dispatch center is the public safety answering point for all police and fire emergency and nonemergency calls within the County of San Joaquin.

Therefore, I voluntarily and knowingly assume these risks, and by my consent agree that no legal action will be brought against said County, Departments, Sheriffs Office, Members, Sureties or County Employees, agents or representatives.

I hereby verify that I have carefully read and understand the contents of this document and sign the same of my own free will.
