The ACS volunteers have the same training and responsibility as agency employees and are designated \u201cDisaster Services Workers\u201d by the State of California. The LNACS is a fully integrated part of the sponsoring government agency. It is activated by the Laguna Niguel Chief of Police services to assist in the event of a disaster or emergency. LNACS volunteers are vital during these events and are considered members of the emergency response team. LNACS provides supplemental communications to the City as required when direct communications are interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;   LNACS volunteers have participated in numerous City-sponsored events. LNACS provides communications at Laguna Niguel\u2019s Annual Holiday Parade and special events by supplementing law enforcement radio traffic. They have experience at several Safety Expos and are prepared to assist law enforcement as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>    All applications must be licensed by the FCC as an &#8220;amateur radio operator&#8221; before becoming a member of LNACS. Licensed radio operators interested in becoming involved in this volunteer program should contact the LNACS Chief Radio Operator.
