Staffing and Support needs for the
Alameda County Sheriff's Office

The Alameda County Sheriffs Office Running Team has successfully participated in a few Baker-to-Vegas Challenge Cup Relay races.

The 1996 race was the first year that the ALCO team participated, and used Hams for communications support. It was a learning experience for both the Hams, and for the ALCO team members. Some of the lessons that the Hams learned while helping the ALCO team are some of the reasons for the new ICS structuring changes for our 2000 efforts.

If you have specific questions about volunteering to support the Alameda County S.O. Ham radio team, you can send email to Ron Susztar. If you would like to volunteer to support the team before or during the race, please go to the Volunteer Page, and fill out the volunteer form.

If you need lodging in Las Vegas, there are a block of rooms reserved at the Circus-Circus Hotel again this year. When you volunteer for a position, the staffing coordinator will tell you what the access code is for getting a room at Circus-Circus. On the other hand, you may want to try lodging in the same hotel as your running team. Your Team Liaison should be able to find out if any rooms have been reserved for the team and support staff.

Make sure to make your room plans early, as there are ALWAYS other events in Las Vegas during the weeks before and after B2V which tie up all of the local hotel rooms! Try to share a room with other team members if you can, since this can lower the cost of the trip for everyone. If you want to share a room, please check the appropriate boxes on the volunteer sign-up form.
