The Volunteer of Record form requires information about the volunteer and the duties to be provided as well as information regarding the supervisor and the name of the dean or department head. The signature of the dean or department head is required at the bottom of the form, which is sent to Risk Management once completed.

The final step for the prospective volunteer is to go to the Police Department at either Foothill or De Anza College and be fingerprinted. The completed Volunteer of Record form must accompany the individual’s request to be finger printed.
