"ACRM INFORMATION"
 The ACRM is a non-profit,
charitable organisation consisting of volunteers who provide an emergency monitoring
service to the Australian public via the Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS). The A.C.R.M.
has two major roles, primarily, we provide an emergency watch of the CBRS emergency
channels for assistance and emergency calls from Australian citizens. Secondly, we provide
safety communications for sporting and recreational events.
The Rally monitor is trained to a level of proficiency suited to
that of rally safety. Initially the trainee is placed with others to gain experience and
doesn't require his/her own equipment.
The Emergency monitor is trained to a higher level of
proficiency, is required to monitor for emergency or assistance calls and must have a
minimum of equipment. Citizen Band Radios (UHF and/or 27MHz). Base antennae. Telephone
service.
To maintain the level of services we provide, we are
constantly searching for new recruits, volunteers who can be expertly trained in either or
both facets of A.C.R.M. and thus continue to provide these important services.
If you are
interested in community safety and wish to learn more about the monitoring
programme, email us or write via the box
numbers.
